He was loved by many and absolute legend in Australian media. Some of the best one liners too.

    2021 Triple M call featuring Dennis gets a run every few months. Magnificent.

    In an era of broadcasting giants, he stood the tallest. It was a great time for sports commentary, but he was the Richie Benaud of the AFL (VFL, WAFL).

    He was the best.

    My childhood is narrated by Cometti. And Rex Hunt before he was problematic.

    “(Name) with delusions of adequacy” after a simple Clanger is a go to in my head movies at the footy.

    Everyone goes on about Dennis's puns, but they were just garnish. He was a fantastic caller, and would have been just as fantastic without the puns.

    Plus, he loved the Demons.

    Hats off.

    Yes, Hats off to the Master. Such a smooth broadcaster. Loved his voice and of course his clever quips. After the GF, I listened to Dennis and his final radio broadcast. It was supreme. Farewell Dennis and thank you for painting images with your wonderfully descriptive words. We will miss you. RIP.

    Does anyone have the MMM WA call of the 21 GF. I think that was his last?

    I got it off youtube where there were multiple commentary versions of the video to the 2021 GF.

    They are special as each gives you a different look at that Golden hour.

    The commentary by Dennis and his friends was extra special.

    Nobody had a better sense of when to be funny (and had the skill to pull it off, unlike some of the buffoons doing commentary now) and when to be serious. He'd have been great on a show like AFL360.

    We'll remember him for his one-liners, but the real skill came in the way he worked them in, without it sounding forced or insincere. For sure there were some he had planned or kept in his back pocket, but he knew when to hold them and when to go all in, and when to let the game speak for itself. The just spoke the language of the game so well.

    Is it on the DVD as an option?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
