He certainly has a disarming way about him...folks seem comfortable with him despite looking like he just stepped out of Mad Max.

If he can stop beginning every answer with "Ahh", he would be our best player in front of the mic.

The way he says 'ahhh' before he starts a sentence is typical of the way the aussies talk. It's just the laid back nature that he was bought up in, the lifestyle etc.

IMO, he speaks better than 70% of pro sportsman, who, even with there 'college education' struggle to say anything that doesn't sound like try hard gangsta's.

Better than 70% of almost any group, in deed.

Saying "ah", "Um", or starting a sentence with "I mean" or "You know" is not cultural in this case, it being new to publc speaking. The Public Speaking classes at Alabama calls such pointless sounds "fillers". (Not as bad as saying "Man" serveral times in an interview with Erin Andrews.:headscratch Sounding Australian is Cultural. This is him being new to speaking to American press vice his peers.
