I think this thread could be a bit of a hit as I never cease to be amazed at the amount of asinine , as well quite clever stuff , said either on electronic or printed media.
This is my opening contribution.
" De Goey hasn’t had any impact on the game " ------ Cameron Ling Ch.7---- 1 Min.15Sec from start of game.
Put your house on it.
Every second thing Ling says is ridiculous.
Wowee oh boy
You feel like they are one goal away from getting closer, don’t you? - Bruce Almighty

He should apologise to me.
… don’t ya Den?
I know some people don’t like Cometti, and think his lines are prepared, but…
‘Morris kicks a minor. It was a valiant attempt.’

Jack Dyer:
If you don’t mind, umpire!
I don’t want to say anything in case I say something.
I use that last one myself, very handy for work.
Cometti:
“Cousins, running away from Carr…”
Dyer:
“His arms reached up for that ball like two giant testicles”

Lovin’ It !
Some more Cometti-isms:
“How’s that, a two Carr collision, both with the same rego!”
When Josh Carr wearing jumper number nine for Port Adelaide, bumped his brother Matthew, wearing number nine for Fremantle.
“Ling’s running off the ground a little bit gingerly”
“Farmer may have an injury to his calf…hmmm, a farmer with a calf problem.”
“Kevin Sheedy, who was coaching Essendon 14 years before Adelaide was founded. The team, not the city.”
“In for the Cats today, David and Steve Johnson. Who better to patch up a line-up than Johnson & Johnson?”
“Andrew Walker really needs to do more. He was sensational on debut…right up there with Billy Ray Cyrus!”
The entire last two minutes of the '66 GF.
I may just post it if I can find it…
A few more isms:
This one still sums us up sadly:
“The Bombers started this quarter looking heavily sedated.”
‘Cummings goes to mark… hmm, looks like the saddlebags are weighing him down a little.’
“The Magpies ought to be kicking themselves right now, but with their luck, they’d probably miss.”
Off a step…

Cometti’s lines are pre-prepared. He takes a list with him when he goes into the commentary box and crosses them off as he uses them. Cometti is to one liners what Bruce is to stats.
