Does Cometti have history
- Thread starter Merveille
- Start date
Dennis is one of the small group of sports commentators i actually like. Alan Mcgilvray (cricket) and Drew Morphett are the others.
being brought up a sandgroper i've had the pleasure of listening to Dennis since the early seventies.
hes a West Perth Royals man (poor bloke :hihi) and has no allegience to any victorian sides.
Some classic lines from the thinking person's favourite footy caller.
"Scotty Cummings alone in the square, jumping up and down and waving his arms like they're playing My Sharona"
"Ugle playing on Peter Matera, fumbling around for the ball and probably his autograph book..."
Dermott: And the ball spills free to Kickett...
Cometti: Troy Cook you mean?
Dermott: Yes.. well, they do look rather alike.
Cometti: How so Dermott?
Dermott: (realising that it sounded racist.) Umm, well, they are both..er..
Cometti: ..Midfielders, yes Dermott.
Healy: Word is this guy is the most reliable kick for goal in the side. They say down at Collingwood if you had to have someone kicking for your life, Tarkyn Lockyer would be the man
Commetti: I'd prefer my mum
(silence)
Commetti: Not a great footballer, but at least she'd care.
"Ashley McIntosh, like a good hair spray...capable of a subtle hold"
"Barlow to Bateman, the Hawks are attacking alphabetically"
"The Magpies ought to be kicking themselves right now, but with their luck, they'd probably miss."
"The goal square's full of Bears, looks like we've got ourselves a convoy"
"Farmer may have an injury to his calf........hmmm, a farmer with a calf
problem."
"Parker to Carr......sounds like a match made in heaven!"
Dennis: King to Ling
Dermott: Just forward of the wing
Dennis: Don't you start!
"It's a goal! A dream start for Hawthorn. Spider had both his legs taken out from under him - leaving only the other six to balance on....."
DENNIS:"Whhhhoa CUMMINGS no it was almost a Modra like attempt we can see here in the replay"(and the slow motion replay starts)
DENNIS:"Modra,Modra,Modra..." (Cummings gets no where near the ball looking like a clown) "CUMMINGS"
On Corey McKernan's poor form: "He's like a long jumper who can't reach the sand."
"I love that surname Fixter. Sounds like something from a Batman movie!"
"There's talk of Karl Langdon offering his services to St Kilda, as if it wasn't bad enough being in 15th position"
Last night when Richmond kicked up the middle towards Ray Hall: "Richmond attack through the corridor in this case the Hall"
When Mark went up for a mark: "... and the Mercuri is rising..."
"How do you beat Rehn? Where's Stimpy???"
After Darren Gaspar hits the post from 40 metres out: "Gaspar, the unfriendly post"

Classic lines those from Dennis. This one in particular:
"Barlow to Bateman, the Hawks are attacking alphabetically"
You've gotta be super quick on your feet to come up with that in your commentary :clap

Certainly not. In a Geelong or ST Kilda Cousins would get proper blocks and have players smart enough to lead to spaces to recieve. As good as Cousins is at tigerland, he would be supreme in a good side.
