Very sad news indeed - way too young.
Clinton's work in the media was among the best going round - White Line Fever was compulsory viewing during Fox Footy days, and his commentary was always on the ball.
He will be sadly missed. Condolences to his family & friends.
I don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.
I'm in total shock! I never met Clinton, but for several years during the Fox Footy period he was in my living room virtually every weeknight during the football season. I feel as though I have lost a friend.
For me, a memory of Clinton will forever be his 3AW broadcast of the 2005 Grand Final. On the DVD Grand Final package, the 3AW broadcast is my favourite audio broadcast, surpassing even Channel 10. I will never forget his words expressed with such excitement moments after the Swans' historical victory: "They were a bunch of hobos mid way through the season". Those words underlined the "Rocky" type/against-the-odds feeling of the Sydney Swans' 2005 Victory.
Clinton Grybas even at the tender age 32 had already emerged as one of the great broadcasters of AFL. He will be truly missed.
Goes to show how fleeting our own mortality can be.
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC
I'm very sad to hear this news. WLF was a top show and he facilitated many many great discussions. He was always so lovely at handling the phone-ins.
He was a great commentator too. Footy will miss him.

Such a dedicated young man cut down in the prime of life.It is hard to imagine our great game without him.To his partner and family,words fail me.They say none of us are irreplacable.I feel Clinton Grybas may be an exception.May he Rest In Peace.
RIP Clinton.
Will be sadly missed by everyone in the community.
All round great sports caller , never forget your call of the Australians Girls Water Polo victory during the Olympics.
