Oh, this one sucks.
RIP Dennis.
Loved Dennis commenting .. too young
This is very sad. He was widely admired and respected. He, Bruce and Sandy OTI scky the three modern, and loved footy commentators. Denis was as good as any.
Just the quality between what he (and Bruce) offered compared to what is served up now. Chalk and cheese. Couldnāt get more opposite.
Great commentator, golden tonsils. RIP
Phenomenal caller of the game was Dennis, very sad news
Damm this sux
Rip Dennis Cometti
Centimetre perfect. Champaign commentary.
Oh no. Thatās terrible news. He was awesome!
He was an excellent caller of cricket on ABC radio in Perth before he went commercial.
US networks tried very hard to get him to the USA to call NFL.
Also coached West Perth in the WAFL (not very successfully, though).
His call of Kieran Perkins Atlanta 1500m gold is an all time great.
And
Peeter Vaan Daan Hoogenband!
When I saw 14 unread posts I knew it was a big one.
I donāt think itās unfair to suggest that TV football coverage died when he pulled the pin (though even then, it felt like the TV execs had forced him to become a caricature in his last couple of years).
RIPā¦
I also lament the state of AFL commentary.
Iām not interested in frat boy humour and who can come up with the best in-joke. Grow the fark up.
ROLLS IT,GOALS IT
THATS GOT CREAM DRIPIING OFF IT
USES SOME TOE
CAN HE HIT A CHEST
āLovett went one way, Murray went the other and they were left chasing the hyphen!ā
āI think itās safe to say Lucas takes his right leg out there purely for balanceā
There is a documentary coming out later this year
Hamish mclachlan ![]()
I came into this thread optimistically but leave misty optically. He was a one off, simply the very best
Rest in peace Dennis
