Wasn't is Greg Tivendale.

What suprised me was this...Kane Johnson gives a free to Goodwin in the centre. He is pissed off, and Channel 7 did some editing and the sound was taken off as Johnson was seen shouting.

LITERALLY seconds later, Tivendale gives a free kick away and you hear, along the lines of "F*** ME"...and Channel 7 didn't cut it out...WTF?
Bit hard to figure these sorts of things out while it actually happens. When you're picking on seven, there's plenty of other material out there.
 
he's a very clever man.

one that would have escaped most viewers yesterday in western bully's v collingwood. dennis is a part-owner of a horse called new kid in town, who won a listed race at sandown on saturday, ridden extremely well by a young fella named sebastian murphy.

when harry o'brien just got fingertips on an attempted shot on goal by the doggies, cometti comes up with "o'brien shows sebastian murphy-like judgement."

loved it.

He also commented during the bulldogs game about Higgins being "Professorial"

reference to Professor Higgins ...My Fair Lady

He could have added, "By George he's got it!"
 
Classical call about Dick Cheney tonight when a sainter accidentally kicked/passed into someones head early on, i forget now
 
1st qtr tonight
"Peter Bell has had 5 possessions and one clearance ...as you just saw"

That comment came just after the camera picked up Bell blowing a booger out the nose

:D


I liked one early in the game

which was

"The stars exchange misses, like something on a reality tv show" (read missus) when tarrant and riewoldt missed in the 1st qtr

I bet he wanted to make some swinging reference but thoguht better of it

What was the one about Michael Johnson being a tool? Something like T rhymes with p and pool starts with P....(in other words Johnson is a Tool for striking)

Mind you i worded it completely wrong. But it was classic.


it was "trouble starts with T, T rhymes with P and P stands for Poor"

you were close though :)
 
When Lenny hayes missed a open goal, 25 metres out, straight in front.

"...kicked it like Gabby Hayes, who was a great sidekick."
 
From Suday's Hawthorn vs Richmond match after a player had received a low blow

"if you read in the paper that someone copped one in the nets, it's a typo"

also...

"down goes richo, like a silent tree in the forest"

:thumbsu:
 
My Favourite:

A Couple of years ago Dennis commentating a Sydney game :

"The ball finally gets down to Hall - He's a Bit like a Virgin ... being Touched for the Very First Time" !!

.... Soory if this has already been mentioned !
 
There was a good one just now in the bombers crows game when Hille i think it was did a tricky kick in a tackle and commetti went

" He was like an armless hitch-hiker, had to improvise.":thumbsu:
Actually it was "like an armless hitch-hiker.... very inventive"
there was another one too.
they showed this bloke waving his bomber supporter waving his scarf excitedly after and essendon miss on goals and he said
"beauty is in the eye of the beer holder"
i LOL'd
 
Not a Cometti-ism, but Ryan Turnbull, before the WAFL Swan Districts-Claremont game came out with: "Yes, this player shows a lot of exubriasm."

Methinks he mixed up exuberance and enthusiasm and came out with a pearler. I nearly peed my pants laughing. Classic!
