Commetti-isms, Vol. 2.0

you_idiot · 28 Mar 2003, 17:47

The thread on this subject was such a rousing success last year, so I thought on Opening Night of the 2003 season, I'd get the thread devoted to Dennis Commetti's quips of this season started in earnest, coinciding with the first centre-bounce at the MCG for the Friday night game between Collingwood and Richmond.

Chronicle your Commetti-isms below!

"No 9 pointers tonight ... we're going off the ladies tees"

On one Richmond long-distance boot for goal, 1st term-- and a bit of a reference from the preseason competition...

"No nine-pointers tonight, they're hitting from the ladies' tees"...

EDIT: Topdon, you beat me to it! Good onya...

Glad Cometti-isms are back for 2003!

This was from the paper on Thursday

"Injuries and a careless case of Croad rage might leave the Dockers playing catch-up . . . again"

Not Commetti, but 3AW firing shots at Richmond.

"The bunson burner`s being applied to Danny Frawley`s posterior. He`s in the hot seat."

"The tiger fans will beat the traffic home tonight."

Commetti on Matthew Richardson, midway through the second term:

"Richardson's play is red-hot, but his goal-kicking is at room temperature."

you_idiot · 28 Mar 2003, 22:02

DC on Nathan Buckley's endurance and workrate a majority of the way through the final term (Bucks had run 19 KM during the course of the game, according to an onscreen stat... and think "Olympic marathon" here)...

"Buckley's about to enter the stadium!"

Tonight when Richo Shanked another one with about 1.15 left in the third quarter, Dennis Said......

"If he was a golfer he'd now be using the reverse overlapping grip."

Welcome to another year of Cometti Gold.

Last night.

"There are no 9-pointers tonight. We are playing off the ladies tee"

In the Wizzy Cup GF.
On Carey.

"Passes to ????????, Carey's old sparring partner at North. S-P-A-R that is!"

To Fred or Bluey...

Could you please merge this thread with the "Cometti-isms v2.0" below. Seems silly to have two threads devoted to exactly the same thing.

Cheers,

Kasey

I think he said somthing like:

"Richo is red hot!... but his kicking is at room temperature"

Ripper · 29 Mar 2003, 10:32

In his article in the Worst he said that Freo would be missing a certain player because of "Croad Rage"

Bumping this thread, at 12 noon Sunday, and inquiring as to whether DC is calling one of the games on Nine today?

I presume he's doing the Adelaide v Fremantle game... guess we'll have to tune in.

Also, agreeing with the sentiments of Kasey (a.k.a Still Crowing) to merge the other Commetti-related thread on this board at http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showth...threadid=63010 with this pre-existing one.

Done. What is the link to the one from last year? Should list it here for posterity.

Hmmmmm... sounds like some good research! I'll get right on finding it, Adrian.

Frankly, would it be a good idea to make this thread a "sticky" in this forum?
