Cometti-isms

[reigning premier]

Love the Cometti commentary... He's the Kerry O'Keefe of footy commentary....

Two favourites... Can't recall the exact occassions but....

1. In reference to a player with alot of posessions early on.. "he'll end up with leather poisoning before the night is out the way he keeps getting that ball"
2. Again another reference to a player getting a lot of posessions... "He clearly has an obsession for leather... He's all over that ball like my wife on my wallet"

He's good in tight spaces. He has a bit of Ralph Fiennes about him.

[Danzar]

I remember something last year, not word for word but it was like this "Kouta inside the pocket, he won't find any money there".

Something in reference to Carton's financial woes.

Last year in a Melbourne game: "And Sylvia smothers the ball. Sylvia's smother? Isn't there a song about that?"

Fom Port v WCE tonight:

"Cassisi, looking more and more like Ben Stiller" WTF?

"goals are like midnight taxis in Meekatharra, they're hard to come by at the moment"

Couldn't help but chuckle at him commenting that Cousins had gone for the ice after he ripped his hammy.

Yep a pathetic, sad, cheap shot, by a pathetic sad cheap old man.

If he is not already, he should be ashamed of himself.

I thought it was clever.

I also thought Kane Cornes' comment post match that that's what happens to someone who hasn't done the work was pretty inflammatory.

You can continue feeling sorry for the druggie, but i wont. Dennis is a fool, but i don't have any sympathy for Cousins, he deserves whatever @@@@ he cops.

[Bindo]

The best one last night was "it's tough when you have to read your stomach", referring to Cousin's tattoo (such is life)!

[attentionseeker]

who you calling fool, fool?

how is dennis cometti a fool?!! the GREATEST commentator ever!
a couple of my favourites:
As Nick Riewoldt has a shot on goal after no one had kicked a major for almost the whole first quarter...
"this goal has been a long time coming. Like waiting for Marlon Brando in [I]Apocalypse Now[I]....."
As Mathew Llyod misses a shot on goal from right in front, the camera cuts to a shot of a man madly waving an Essendon scarf
"that man was waving an Essendon scarf. Well, i guess beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder"

Yes, it was a cheap shot.

I remember Wayne Schwass taking a mark. Then Commetti pipes in "That's a Swastika, that mark!"

PS:- "Schwass Sticker" (for the dummies )

[reigning premier]

Yes, it was a cheap shot.

Perhaps the Swans should of delivered a few cheap shots when he returned instead of welcoming him back. He made his bed, he can lie in it.

[swantastic]

Yes, it was a cheap shot.

I dont think it was a cheap shot,but maybe the true feelings some of the other players have about Benny.
