Basil Zempilas

[The Passenger]

what the fu** was he on about tonight with liam patrick??

would probably be sacrificed if this was roman times.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

snoop dogg changed his name to snoop lion recently and they look the same

 

[Bazzar]

Get this bloke off the air. Deadset hack! Called Matthew Boyd Brad and the called Grant Jason Gram

Trade you Zemilas for TVs biggest goose, Barry Hall. He is the worst so called sports presenter since 1956.
And whats with the Harry O diamond earring? What a tool.

 

[Walsh Bay]

Yep. Way too many superannuated ex footballers with nothing particularly insightful to offer.
Which makes it all the more important that the 'professional' callers and commentators know their stuff.

 

[millsy29gopies]

Absolutely cringeworthy at 'Footy Central' last night...

 

[ioppolo]

Even BT was wondering WTF is Basil doing last night.

 

[Jdoggy]

Did anyone hear his Chinese Year of the Rabbit remark in Carlton vs Essendon??
me bein asian n my white neighbour already takin the piss out of him, and then he makes that call of intelligence...Year of the Dragon ya hack...

That was absolutely horrible television. Cringe worthy stuff. I couldn't believe it.

Is it just me or does he remind anyone else of Rodney Dangerfield? Did I think this up or it it a widely held belief?

 

[zero]

hes the most important person in perth

at least according to him, he is, anyway

 

[Micksy]

Jeff Goldblum's down-syndrome brother.

 

[The Swert]

He needs to stop trying get people suspended. He's worse than Michael Christian and Andy Maher in that regard now. As if Buddy making contact with the goal umpire needs to be looked out by the Match Review Panel. What a tool.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

He could get work in the off season at St.Moritz by renting his nose as a ski slope.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Through his own incompetence he makes Hamish McLachlan look like an A grade caller.

 

[BlueBen]

This afternoon during Geelong vs. Sydney, he was talking about Nathan Vardy apparently bowling a perfect game at some Geelong bowling event and then said proudly (paraphrasing) "And did you know, Hame (sic), that in reaching the perfect game, Vardy bowled 12 straight strikes!?"

There was a brief pause before Harley gently suggested that the only way to bowl a perfect game was by bowling 12 straight strikes. Basil then muttered something about "strikes and spares" before Hamish interjected and saved Basil from further embarrassment. Was cringeworthy TV.

 

[Burzum]

Is he blind? Serious question. He calls players by another name, he never knows whether it's a goal or behind.

 

[TheOz]

If you didn't hear it 800 times during the game, Chris Newman is Richmond's former skipper.

 

[Geoff]

He's Greek, all you Melbournians should love him.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Mitchell is a Sandover (spelling?) medallist apparently.

 

[JUBJUB]

Mitchell is a Sandover (spelling?) medallist apparently.

Baz does like letting us know these things 20-30 times a game

 

[ajdude]

i have a theory that instead of flying basil from perth to melbourne for today's game, ch7 invested in the basil 3000 some time ago

well hot dog ricky henderson, we have a wiener

 

[JUBJUB]

Last night when Magic Daw and Nic Nat went up in ruck together for the first time he refered to it as "A significant moment in football". Why ?

I thought it was in reference to a Sudanese born player up against a player with Fijian parents going head to head. Probably not that significant, but a bit all the same.

It probably was,but he never actually said why
