    I am totally shocked and devastated to hear the news. He was a brilliant caller and seemingly in the prime of his career.

    Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
    Swannies for life!

        Just saw this on the news website. Just so tragic. Very very sad. A great loss and I'm speechless.

          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'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.

                Grybas may have died sleepwalking

                Goes to show how fleeting our own mortality can be.

                  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.

                        R.I.P Clinton Grybas.

                        I am still on shock over his passing.

                        I loved his commentary on Fox and his opinion of the game.I used to enjoy him of ABC tv ten years ago when they had the free to air rights to the NBL.
                        Well done Craig Bolton for getting the co- captaincy in 2008.

                        Your determination,your tenacity and your under-rated skill is why you have become my favourite player!

                            Really Really sad news.

                            Was the best AFL caller in the country IMO.

                            Way too young.

                            RIP Clinton.

                              Pretty nice read, here is Caroline Wilson's take, which I enjoyed reading:
