He was jacking off Fyfe's arm at the end there.

Bruce:
"Lining up from good distance, it's just in his range I reckon. Now if he scores this, you'd think they're a real chance wouldn't you? GEE THAT'S A GREAT KICK!"
"THEY ARE HOME"
"SPECIAL....VERY SPECIAL!!"
"Delicious"
Dennis:
"Tries to dispose it, ricochets off the leg, soccer's the ball up in the air and OHHH takes a one hander if you don't mind"
"Rocca, like my wife driving, needs a fair bit of lane"
"Like a cork in the ocean"
"Caught between a rock and a hard place"
"Alan Didak was Stevie J before Stevie J was Stevie J"
BT:
WELLINGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!
BOY OH BOYYYY WOW WEE, YOU LIKED THAT ONE DIDN'T YA RICHO?
That. Nearly. Missed....the boot.
BA-NA-NA-NAAAAAAA
"THAAAAAAAATS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BENDERS I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE"
Richo:
"There's a fair bit of mayo on that BT"
"The further back you get, the narrower the goal posts look"
"That ball is hard to mark. Just floating everywhere"
Dwayne:
*anything that comes out his mouth*

"Suckling in a beautiful spot, gets the goal, comes on the ground." Sorry but that was a deliberate comment and it wasn't his first or last of the day involving the same word, used in a certain context.
Next time he should put his glasses on when playing 'pin the tail on the donkey' with Cyril, or whatever it is they're doing:
There's a few captions in that pic...

Christ that was a bad call by Bruce yesterday. He's the only bloke that can manage to make an AFL Grand Final seem as soft as butter by the way he calls it. I quite literally would have preferred to listen to Rompingwins call the big dance. Dennis is rapidly reaching his used by date, also. Time for a fresh crop of callers.
Also, why does Bruce ALWAYS seem to get to call the final moments leading up to the final siren on Grand Final day? I'm not sure if I can recall Dennis ever calling the last moments of a Grand Final.

He really f***ed the last few seconds up with his "back... to back... to back" call. Huddo did it much better a decade and change ago

Probably because it was. West Coast's performance was weak as piss.

Nup. Liked Bruces far more. Huddos far too scripted, it's annoying.

And you didn't think Bruce's 2014 'masterpiece' call was scripted?

Cancelled
Probably. It didn't sound scripted though. He can pull it off

You're right, great passion. For some reason the call reminded me of his superb commentary on Robbie Ahmat's 2000 Goal of the Year against the Roos at the G. Only thing that bloke ever did!

Tonight old mate was back in career best form. Re Matthew Pavlich he says:
"He's got a big backside and he used it well. It's a looovely backside, but it's big."
Bwuce...mate...wtf?...

"Cloke has a long leg..."
Is that why he runs around in circles?

It's a shame because listening to him call the olympics he is still easily one of the best, I reckon 7 has a bit to do with his commentary for the footy.
When you're calling a race, you need to fit in as much information as possible in a brief period of time. Not necessary in a game of football, although you wouldn't know it the way they all babble on.
I agree he does a great job in the Olympics, certainly has a sound knowledge of athletes, but I have been amused by several things. Everyone gets of to a good start, and I especially like it when he says, "He comes out of the blocks running". What else would he be doing except running? Also, one 400m race involving an Australian woman, Bruce kept on about how she was looking very good even though other runners had left her behind
But, it can't be easy, especially knowing you are projecting to a world wide audience, so he does a pretty good job.

As far as the AFL is concerned he clearly camps it up for some reason, there's no way he would say some of the stuff and make some of the noises he does naturally.
