You forgot the one about Monty changing his name to "Amon Badly"

Hmmmm....Commets annoys me when we play WCE, however, he is pretty darn good aside from that.

Seymour as Boundary Rider???

[Teasdale77]

that's some of his best, Refried Noodle. Love the Dennis!

Here's some others;

Matthew Carr (Dockers) came up against brother Josh (Port) and the pair, both wearing #9, collided. Cometti: "That's a tough one for umpires. A two-Carr collision and both with the same rego."

Wills (Dockers) and Burke (Saints) chase the pill into the open spaces of Subi: "Burke and Wills mount an expedition after it, but it ends in disaster. The ball is out of bounds and we'll have a throw in"

"A couple of big touches from Clive Waterhouse, who was battling up until about five minutes ago, in danger of becoming Clive Waterboy."

"The Magpies ought to be kicking themselves right now, but with their luck, they'd probably miss."

"Crawford surrounded by three tigers ... now thats a situation only Jackie Chan would relish!"

Re Adam Yze: "A terrific player . . . terrible scrabble hand."

"He's made a typo! - he wanted Bickley and he's got Buckley!"

"Walker to Carr . . . that's a step up . . ."

"He's as cool as the other side of the pillow."

"When Anthony Rocca backs into a pack, he beeps."

"Jones creeping up the wing ... but they know he's there."

"The wheel's still turning but the hampster's dead!"

After Libba gets the ball about 50 metres in the clear: "He was standing out there on centre wing beside a tall blade of grass."

"It's just like a Melbourne tram ... everyone's piling on but nothing's being paid!"

"And the attendance today, 82,000, thanks to the Iraqi Information Minister."

"Walsh across half-back to Whelan, to Williams to White ... Melbourne leading the league in W's"

Demon's Robbo up in the pack too soon: "He's suffering with a case of premature elevation"

"Well, that was a Rock Hudson kick ...looked straight but wasn't."



McAvaney may lead all commentators in Yankee-style sentimental schmaltz but Cometti is the best.

She comes up with so many of them it's hard to remember them. But she is particularly bad when talking about her Dad. Does anyone remember the gem when we played Collingwood...I wish I could remember exactly what it was, but it was typical of her stating the bleeding obvious.

[Xie Shan]

My favourite Christi Malthouse moment was at the end of the 2002 GF. Brisbane had just beaten her Dad's team in a thriller, and there she was, utterly serious, asking Michael Voss to "describe the emotion". Delicious irony

Dennis Commetti closely followed by Tim Lane.
