        And it wasn't the only stupid thing he said all day. He makes a living doing it.

          I reckon he's one of the best commentators going around!

            Dennis Commeti is most definitely the worse commentator ever - i tried listening to k rock and watching the tele but it just didn't work .. and I think k rock were less biased too

              You thought the Ch 9 commentators were biased in favour of Geelong...???

                Brereton is the worst by far, he spends the whole time encouraging players to play like he did, a dirty little mongrel.

                  He sometimes misses the mark but hits moreso IMO.

                    Good call AS, you could even tell his fellow commentators were getting sick of his constant remarks at dirty play. I havent seen him comment more on dirty play infact this year. I reckon he might get a rap over the knuckles from Ch9.

                      I did enjoy Derm's commentary on Magic during the Lions match. I didn't notice until he pointed it out how Magic walked about 5 steps to the right, when the ump wasn't looking, to improve his angle on goal. That is one of the things a commentator should do, point out things you have missed, not the bleedin' obvious like Commetti and Hudson.

                        That's what special comments guys do. Commentators call the game.

                          In my book Commetti is clearly the best commentator.

                          Loved his comment about LRT- saying that LRT's hair would make a perfect "lie" for a 3 wood.

                          Only wish CH9 could clone him and get rid of Eddie.

                            Each to their own.

                            I used to hate Commetti's calls, now I can bear them.
                            I like Dermies comments, but I got really tired of hearing his comments re: Cressa yesterday.
                            In the end, I'll take anyone over Eddie

                              Commetti is the second best caller in the country behind Tim Lane.

                              Dermie is the worst special comments bloke I have ever heard, he just talks absolute rubbish.

                              Everyone is forgetting how bad a caller Dwayne Russell is.

                              Eddie is just a disgrace and annoys the crap out of me.
