    passing of clinton grybas

    Has just been announced on ABC radio (702) during the cricket coverage that Clinton Grybas has died. No further details. This is a massive loss and I am greatly saddened. He was a fantastic caller of our code and had such a sunny disposition. My sincere condolences to his family.

          It's very sad. I almost started crying when i found out. I still can't believe it.. this season won't be the same without him.

              Clinton Grybas made a massive contribution to AFL over the last few seasons. His work on White Line Fever on Fox was awesome..his radio commentary and TV commentary almost unmatched.He had a huge natural curiosity which brought out the best in his interviewees.
              This man will be desperately missed!

                  That's really sad, I appreciated the passion he put into his radio calls. R.I.P.

                      That's just terrible news, especially as he was only 32. A great caller, and a great football presenter/journalist as well. Will be sadly missed.

                      If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                          I'm almost speechless. It feels like one of the family has died. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

                              Shame when someone so young passes away so unexpectedly.

                                  This is shocking news. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

                                  By far the best commentator in the country and such a talented personality. He will be sorely missed.

                                      I don't know which was the biggest shock, the relativly young age he died or, or that it came with what seems no warning.
                                      Definitly the best AFL commentator there was on Cable.

                                              A huge shock and that's very sad news. IMO he was one of the best footy commentators of the modern day era and his presence will be sorely missed in the 2008 AFL season. R.I.P.

                                                  My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

                                                  RIP.

                                                      Was easily the best commentator in 2007.

                                                      I'm not just saying that because's he's dead either.

                                                      RIP Clinton.
