Games & Recreation BigFooty Death List 2017 Congratulations hong_kong_bond.

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

That is a massive shock. Can't imagine footy commenary without him. Grew up with him on Seven then on ABC Radio.
No gimmicks or nonsense - he just called the game with genuine passion and excitement without going over the top. A professional through and through.
RIP Drew

 

[SportsCentre]

Stunned by this. Just stunned.

 

[Spongebob]

Grew up in Perth listening to Drew doing cricket and footy.

The great type of commentator -- it was about the game.

RIP

RIP Drew Morphett. A nicer and more genuine voice will never be heard in the commentary box.

Heart attack? So many fit people dying of heart attacks. Overworking the heart to the extent it collapses.

So sad

I'm not 100% sure what you're getting at but can only assume it has something to do with the way he died?

I was, afterall he was young when he died. Just being a little silly.

All that parliamentary pension he missed out on.
