Vale Dennis Cometti

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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
