    Opinion Select the 2010 State of Origin sides on club form

    Ridiculously hard task this but how good would these games be with the 'power' footy states: WESTERN AUSTRALIA B: Harry OBRIEN (Coll) - Darren GLASS (WCE) - Ryan HARGRAVE (Bulldogs) HB: Nathan VAN BERLO (Adel) - Harry TAYLOR (Gee) - Jakob SURJAN (Port) C: Domenic CASSISI (Port) -...

    Re: Best Group of Commentators How about Dwayne-o winning the AFLMA Best Television Caller award?? Crazy, I know.

    Bulldust, Modern Athletics is possibly the most drug tainted, elite-ist crap imagineable.

    Who is the best commentator?

    x2 ...agreed. ...and guys we only bag out Dennis for being 'rehearsed' is because he admitted he does that as part of his wit... rehearsed or not...its about timing and Cometti is master of that!

    Memo Cometti: leave Religion out of it.

    Oh puleeeease! Peejay...this defence from a religion which literally sells its belief that "an angel (Moroni) came down and told some dude (Joseph Smith) heres some new tablets to write an americanized version of a bible..." The same Joseph Smith whom: 1. In the 1830s, Joseph Smith, Jr...

    Dennis Cometti

    Cometti Overated? If thats true - where does that leave the rest of them? Grybas was an heir not the King, he was still learning the depth of his analysis - which was great, to match his intonations and voice - which was superb.

    Dennis Cometti

    ...to enjoy Dennis quips... He is by far the best in game and its tragic his heir apparent (Clinton) is no longer... :-( The only reason why we *think* Dennis is a bit forced and contrived sometimes is he admitted to doing his RESEARCH on these quips. Still, its all about the timing - of...

    best commentators ( tv )

    Cometti is the best on Ch7 and the best by a damn mile all up. Tim Lane is the best of a mediocre lot on Ch10 - even though he doesnt carry over as well on TV as he does on Radio. Huddo is ok. Of course Grybas was the best on FOX and a terrific announcer, but Dwayne Russell is now the best of...

    Cometti's views on 7 Sport....

    Hmm who would have thunked it, a mob of Docker ferals whinging about Cometti's commentary. It was and still is - superb.

    Ox made an arse of himself...again

    Well mate, considering Cometti is probably the best TV announcer since Lou Richards in the 70s - I politely disagree. Also, you might want to consider he had a hand in getting Darren Bewick to West Perth, who obviously later went to Essendon. Oh yeah, apparently Cometti's eldest son is a...

    Nine v Seven coverage of AFL

    If it wasnt for Cometti, 7 would have totally stank this year.

    McAvaney or Commeti?

    Cometti is the best going round by a mile. And sadly, his heir apparent (Grybas) is no longer with us! :-(

    Clinton Grybas Passes Away

    Tragic news about a supreme talent as a Sportscaster. I honestly believe he was going to easily claim the mantle eventually from Dennis Cometti as the elite AFL caller of the game on all levels of media. Condolences to his family.

    Would any team in the AFL got within 20 goals of Geelong on Saturday

    I agree, well done Cats but dude - look at the posts carefully, its more Vic supporters who are suggesting the Eagles would have been a chance, not just Eagles supporters! As for me, Geelong were awesome on the day and doubt anyone would have beaten them but Sydney and West Coast play great...

    Jon Anderson - cheap shot!

    We might not have been good enough to beat Port on their home ground, however we took a team (Collingwood) into extra time with a decimated side that pushed the handbaggers to the limits. I have friends at Geelong and many said they were privately relieved you didnt play the Eagles in the...

    Is Clinton Grybas now the best caller in footy?

    1. Cometti 2. Lane 3. Grybas 4. McAvaney 5. Brayshaw

    A truly sad year for the club

    Some good thoughts here by one and all... Still furious at our franchise player (Judd) leaving like he has... Can someone enlighten me as to what Kerr said on Footy Classified? I was stuck in Sydney on work commitments and no chance of catching it there...

    The video tale of why Chris Judd left West Coast

    Whats hilarious is most Eagles supporters dont give a toss about Freo - not until they actually develop a winning 'culture' Whats hilarious is their fans incessant want to populate Eagles threads like the Avian Flu...;-) I mean...its so ridiculous its hilarious.

    Channel 10, please remove Robert Walls

    Walls' winning the AFMA award for best special comments man shows how poor they all are. Thing is even nine were crap - Derm and Lyon were blithering the obvious as well week in and week out. The best special comments man has been Leigh Matthews. I can tolerate Blight's banters as well in...

    Judd could remain an eagle?

    I agree that this is about messages to the clubs in the trade-gambit more than anything else. However, to say it cant happen because of the distance to Perth you do forget one thing... for the trips he would have to make to Perth for home games, he need not make for Melbourne games - a bit of...

    Port Adelaide - just an incredible organisation

    Aahhh well, the tragedy is for Freo is indeed they SHOULD have the same mystique as Port... East Fremantle is by far the most successful team in WAFL history and both they and South Fremantle have that blue singlet, knuckle dragging, fisticuffs to win warfie attitude just like bloody Port...

    Possible Judd Trade Deadlock With The Pies

    Grrrrrr I am absolutely filthy at Judd... I know, I know - we got Chick and Stenglein back, but Judd was the Eagles Franchise player...shattering. Anyway, I hope the Eagles dig in long and bloody hard in the trade... I still cant believe we havent even finished THIS season and hes...

    Trederea's bow

    Firstly, I dont think any Kangaroos player would want to watch the surrounding torture of a 15 goal thumping, just so they can gnash their teeth at some over the top gestures by Port. Other than a good win against Hawthorn - North Melbourne's form in this finals series has been one of the most...

    AFL Media Awards - Wallsy the best?

    Congrats to Dennis Cometti...he is a deserved winner of his award AGAIN. The only announcers who hold a candle to him is Tim Lane, Huddo, Grybas. However Huddo and Grybas need to develop a bit more depth in their commentary to surpass big Den. I do miss Brayshaw from TV calling. As...

    The WC dynasty

    I call making finals in 17 of the 21 years you have existed and 5 Grand finals for 3 flags a pretty fair dynasty. Time will tell as to how successful this current squad will be over the next few seasons. ...and WHY are we regurgitating the drug thing AGAIN - its spread throughout the AFL...

    Defeat with dignity

    It was a scrappy game because of finals pressure. Look at the Eagles v Swans finals and of recent years.

    "We secretly hope Eagles dont make the top 4"

    Your bias compass is a little off here.. Gerard Healy I have heard on several occasions over the years grunt into the microphone when the Eagles snare a vital goal on odd occasions... he might respect the Eagles but its obvious he doesnt personally like them. Also the suggestion that FOX...

    The Big Braun Thread

    Re: Braun taking LEGAL ACTION Yeah, it was Leigh Matthews (as then coach of Collingwood) when the Eagles fronted up in 1991 and went on that 12-game winning streak and inferred the physical develpment seemed a bit rapid... What he didnt know however was, that it was around that time the...

    In 5 years I probaby wont be watching footy

    I agree the TV commentary could improve across the board this year (Thank the Lord for Cometti at least)...however there have been TV commentary complaints since year dot. I mean some radio stations covering VFL/WAFL in the 70s I remember use to brag "turn down your television volume and watch...
