Roast 2014 Comical commentary thread

[Ned Ryerson]

I reckon once bruce retires, a smartarse will make a 12th man type cover of him

Sam Newman can be a prize w***er most of the time - but this always makes me laugh.

 

[Hawk Since Birth]

Who else can remember when Denis was the funny man and Bruce the straight one.

What used to make me laugh was the Aussie "oops!"

I had no idea that Bruce was ever the straight one....

I feel that Sam pulled that off really well, don't you?

The worst thing about Bruce is that he tries to make every game seem like the grand final

 

[MrFujiMoto]

I love this -



Paul Stewart miming to Bruces commentary

 

[TNTre]

Another for the Smutty Bruce file.

"Oh he's in there like a dog in heat...isn't he?!"

 

[heh]

I was listening to the game ladt night on the radio, loved hearing Parkin rip into Carlton. Don't normally hear him commentate that much, is he usually that cranky/honest?
May have to listen to him some more.

 

[TNTre]

Any chance of Basil Zempilis getting a name right?

"Sammy, er Savage, er sorry that was Jones."

"Great mark taken by Lewis... I mean Hodge"

"Jordan Roughead"

 

[hawker92]

"Hallan"

 

[TNTre]

I quite liked the "I spose we better get back to the footy"

 

[Cleavy]

I reckon once bruce retires, a smartarse will make a 12th man type cover of him

like when Andrew Startin (?) did the Footy Wars?

 

[crazywildhorse]

So:

Don't forget our great spread of goal kickers, nobody knows about that yet.

Awesome work.

 

[Bosk]

Poor Tom Harley, today forced to heap so many compliments on the Hawks through gritted teeth.

Well said and how about this gem.. " Its one way traffic, like a freeway that's only going one way! "

Basil Zemplis. You are to commentary what Michelangelo Rucci is to print media.

 

[eldorado]

Basil assures me that Jonathon Simpkin had quite a few disposals for the Hawks today...

 

[Squidy87]

BT: "Watson, we know he's a good user"

 

[Thaihawk]

Just wonder if Bruce were calling today's game, how many times would he have said, I reckon the next goal is important, don't you?

Or, you feel if the Saints get the next one, they are still in it, don't you?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Someone needs to tell Basil that it's Hallahan not Hallam

 

[The BIG X]

Basil assures me that Jonathon Simpkin had quite a few disposals for the Hawks today...

Perhaps we had 23 players

 

[Whistling Hawk]

Someone needs to tell Basil that it's Hallahan not Hallam

He got it right at the start of the game then started up with "Hallan" in the second half and stick with it.

You can tell how much Harley hates him. I'm not a fan of Basil but it's like a schoolyard bully picking on the fat kid. Gives me more reason to dislike Harley (as if I needed it).

 

[JustKickIt]

Can we get rid of the perpetual "Selwood should come pre-bandaged" joke?

 

[Ram-Man]

I loved that Cyril goal in the third quarter .. awesome.

So did Dimitri --> http://captiongenerator.com/16239/Cyril

 

[Thaihawk]

Not a comical one. but someone should but Matt. Thompson a pair of specs. He classified the game of the round as the team with the best attack (Port Adelaide) verses the team with the best defense (Fremantle.)

Well Matt. The best attacking team is Hawthorn. Points for 894, yes 91 ahead of Port.
And, the best defensive side is, yes Hawthorn, albeit by a slim 9 points.

So you are wrong on both counts.

Wha? Buddy vs his old team is not the media choice?

Anyway, with all the build up it reminds me of how bad, and how Buddy sluglines there are. I'm getting the feeling we might get something like "Buddy no more" sometime this week. We should have a competition prediciting how the media are going to use his name next.

And there it is:
