Dermie: And McManus kicks it to Cook.
Dennis: You mean Kickett?
Dermie: Yeah sorry. I got confused since they...
Dennis: Both play in the midfield?

Do they have to be footy commentating quotes? I can't recall any funny footy ones, but I remember hearing Michael Cole talking about how large the Big Show is by saying:

"I can fit three fingers in his ring!" I hope he was referring to his wedding ring, but you'll never know with Michael Cole.

Another funny one was when Jerry Lawler was talking about a country bumpkin wrestler and said "In (wrestler's name)'s home town, the local high school couldn't hold driver's ed and sex ed classes on the same day as they only had one car".

Another one I remember was during a golf tournament and Aaron Baddley was leading by a few shots heading into the final day and Jack Newton said he had put $10 on Baddley to win at the start of the tournament, and Sandy Roberts says "Well, I bet you're rubbing your hands together now Jack!"

Ogilvy asking if he can restart his commentary because he suffed it only to be told he was live coast to coast.

I think that was Brett Ogle. Cringing stuff indeed.

Bonecrusher races into equine immortality - Bill Collins

Dwayne Russell - Hey hey Libba, get offa McLeod (apologies to the Rolling Stones)

Cometti - XX went into that pack optimistically and came out misty optically

now that's a classic....

I think it may have been Rexy to say this or it may have been a tv commentator. Either way, many years ago, Harry Madden tackled an opposition player and the commentator said something like "Harry wraps his big testicles around....Tenticles, I meant to say tenticles".
I had a bit of a laugh!

Something you must see alot, supporting Hawthorn and all.

Anywho, one of my favs.

"Nick Davis! Nick Davis! I don't believe it. I see it, but i don't believe it"

and from the same night, from a radio call "This is 96 all over again!".

 

[Roddy]

Best of all time, bar none:

Cometti: 'Liberatore went into the pack optimistically, and came back out misty, optically.'

Dennis Cometti

'Spider had both his legs taken out from under him - leaving only the other six to balance on ...'

'Barlow to Bateman. The Hawks are attacking alphabetically...'

 

[Benno_900]

Cometti - The Magpies ought to be kicking themselves right now, but with their luck, they'd probably miss.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

(As Richmond are copping a belting on Friday Night Football, the convo goes along the lines of this)
Gary - The Tigers future looks good. They have a good young list that they are rebuilding with.
Dennis - Gary? They've been rebuilding since 1980!.....they are the Canadian Beavers of the AFL.

Wasn’t it dancing dougie Hawkins that said some player was a 100 meter player; he can kick the ball 60 metres and carries it for 30 after a few bounces. Nice mathematics Douglas.

 

[Chewy]

I forget the players and teams involved. Someone from St Kilda, I think. But Peter Landy once said something along the lines of, "Darren Milburn... kicks it over to the red-headed Cameron Ling... if only every footballer looked like Cameron Ling, they'd be so much easier to tell apart..."

Not sure of the exact quote, but Commetti calling a Richmond game when Gasper hits the post...

"this would have to be described as Gasper and the Unfriendly Post"

(Casper the Friendly Ghost reference)

 

[Coastering]

Commetti a couple of years ago - "Now you see it, now you don't, like Monica Lewinsky with a cigar"
