I heard Commetti ponder a few weeks ago, "Can a player be reported for charging if he is in possession of the ball?" It was after a player had done a Hally of old, put the ball under the arm and run through his attempted tackler. It made me wonder, how can anyone be stupid enough to think that out loud?

Commetti is over-rated"As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

he was going a bit overboard yesterday - trying to put one in at every given opportunity, some of which were just didnt cut it, and the resultant silence in the commentary box was testiment to that.
No doubt some are very funny but he was clutching at straws at times.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

I must admit I have not red all of this thread before leaping in and adding to it, so sorry if this one has been done. During a St Kilda match Jason Gram had his shorts ripped off to which Commetti quipped "It's a stripper-gram". I loved that one...Comment

Describing the Eagles when they're not scoring:
"competitive patience...a lot like Peter Costello"Comment

I remember a contest in a pack and the commentators had been unsure whether there was any contact by hand. After viewing the replay, Commetti's comment was "there are a lot of arms but no sign of Hans Blix".We all dream of a team of BLTs!Comment

Cometti after the playing of the national anthem at the Port v West Coast final: "You know its finals time when they bring out the word girt".
I love his commentary.Occupational hazards:

Today during Melbourne vs. North, not his best efforts:
"North Melbourne are a bit like Paris Hilton, they seem to be able to play with anyone"
"Shane Valenti...built like a black box flight recorder"
(on the crowds at MCG games this weekend) "On Friday night there were 86,000, on Saturday 64,000, and today I reckon about 20,000...it's like watching the Dow Jones"Comment

I probably already posted this in this thread, but I hate listening to Cometti.
He obviously sits up at night and thinks out some phrases and writes them down.
Then he shows whoever is in the box with him, because their lack of reaction indicates either that they already knew what he was going to say, or that they are totally over his crappy comments.
If he was genuinely spontaneous, then that might be a different thing, but I get sore eyes listening to him - because of all the rolling they do
