Famous Commentary One Liners

[Squeak]

Barwick snaps, and goals....... Collingwood are home!

Also from that game:

"If this doesn't bring the roof off the MCG, nothing will!"

And from a game against Richmond at VP (courtesy of Drew Morphett):

"Daicos...three kicks...threee goals!"

 

[MACDAICOS]

Also from that game:

"If this doesn't bring the roof off the MCG, nothing will!"

And from a game against Richmond at VP (courtesy of Drew Morphett):

"Daicos...three kicks...threee goals!"

After Mick McGuanes goal in the third Sandy again "And these pies are hot"

 

[Pembleton]

"THE MONKEY'S OFF YOUR BACK BILLY"-After Billy kicked the goal after the siren innthe QF against Footscray in 1994.

That was Gerard Healy.

Sandy Roberts also threw in "You are King of Geelong".

 

[Seadog]

This one loses some of its sting because i forget who the commentator and opposing player were, still pretty funny.(boundary throw-in involving Dean Cox)


X is playing games with big Cox.

 

[The Fireman]

"He went in optimistically and came out misty optically" Commetti, my favourite.
and anything thing Walls says, he cracks me up even though he is being fair dinkum.

Legendary rugby league coach, Jack Gibson was asked by Ray Warren about the speed of Andrew Ettingshausen - Gibson replied:

"Andrew Ettingshausen can switch off his bedroom light and be in bed before it gets dark."

 

[- PC -]

Earliest call of the ''winner'' I have heard was Gerard Healy in a game Adelaide V Nth Melbourne about 97ish 5 minutes in the last quarter Gerards comment

''Whoever kicks the next goal will win''

As there was 2 points in it at that stage it was a brave BUT prophetic call as it was a great game of defensive pressure


It could have been West Coast as well ..memory got ruined after drinking premiership champagne a few months later

Dustin Hoffman, I mean Dustin Fletcher then

Ohhhh, no chance tonight dear!!!

An exhausted Rex Hunt after Carlton / Essendon draw.

Rex Hunt: "If you fell into Bikini clad women you'd come out sucking your thumb"
"And be washed down the drain..."

IMHO Rex and Sam were the best pair ever on Radio and oneday Rex was making bird noises and Sam Commented that it was a Barrell Chested bed-thumper.

 

[skilts]

"Salmon goes upstream to Sporn." I think it was Tim Lane at an Essendon game in the 1990s.

Michael Long streams out of the centre and draws a Port Adelaide player towards him. He handballs over the head of the oncoming player. This gives rise to Sandy Roberts saying, "Long...over Dew." To this day, I'm convinced that Sandy had no idea what he'd said.

He actually ripped that one off from Muhammed Ali. Now THERE'S the king of one-liners.

 

[Skeptic]

-His arms are like giant testicles

Um, I don't know the quote but r u sure that wasn't meant to be

"His arms are like giant Tentacles"

 

[Michaelg]

"Very much so Bobby": Peter Landy

 

[Tanty by Ty]

Bruce in 93?
Jimmy boy, your a champion you are
or something like that!

I think that's the 95pf. "If it was raining bikini clad women then Richmond would be washed down the tube with a truck driver."

 

[Blues_Man]

Um, I don't know the quote but r u sure that wasn't meant to be

"His arms are like giant Tentacles"

Jack Dyers "his arms came up like giant testicles" to this day still brings a chuckle

 

[EssendonPride]

What about Rex Hunt, The Ablett Grab - 'eeeabbbbllllllletttttt!!!'
-Not really one liner i know but still very memorable-

Look about 5-6 posts above yours... and its there

 

[ablett factor]

too right.

I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.


I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I'm in a world of my own.


I am the greatest. Not only do I knock em out, I pick the round!


If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.

 

[Toots Hibbert]

Dennis from Showdown I:
"The sacrificial lambs are savaging the butcher".

I remember that one with great fondness. My wife and I were on a houseboat with my sister, a mad Crows fan, and her family. Very cocky before the game she was. When Dennis said that I thought the top of her head was going to lift off!

 

[crudbucket]

I think this one was from Gerard Healy :-

"Cox soccers off the ground"

Say it fast a couple of times and then think about what you just said

 

[greg62]

I know it wasn't a footy line but Peter Landy's introduction of tennis player Sue Dix as "Sue *****" was a classic.

 

[moistie]

Um, I don't know the quote but r u sure that wasn't meant to be

"His arms are like giant Tentacles"

Nope, 'testicles' was what Jack Dyer said.

Trent Sutton (guy from school who constantly reffers to himself in the 3rd person)

- Sutton...One bounce.....and a second.......a third bounce now.....Don't tell me.....Could it be......It is.....this is unbeleivable......SUTTON.....SUTTON.......SUTTON SETS SAIL FOR HOME .....YESSSSSSSS......HE'S KICKED IT!!!!!

 

[DSL64]

I'm now sure who Geelong were playing or what year, but one Rex classic I can still remember was...

"And the only thing missing is the Popemobile"

 

[bunsen burner]

I'm no fan of Rex Hunt and I can't remember who the other player was (I'll use McPhee for the example), but there was a pack and McPhee was on top of Andrew McLeod and Rex goes:

"Hey hey McPhee get offa McLeod"


Also heard Denzel Commetti say, "And such and such bitch slaps it down to centre half forward". Never heard that one again. Must have been reprimanded.

 

[Skooks]

Bill Lawry: "Ohh Hes gone for it"


Dennis Commetti: "Snap Around the body Wahhoo"

Dennis Commetti: "Measures the Kick"

Dennis Commetti: "Thats Centimetre Perfect"
