Clinton.
I never met you, but I feel like I knew you.
Congratulations on such a brilliant and short career.
You were a wonderful talent and I enjoyed having a laugh with Poults!
The news that I heard when I got home today was awful.
You will have a great view of the G where you are now my friend.
RIP. We will miss you dearly.

Was a very talented media personality, one that the sporting world needs. A shame that he died so young.
R.I.P Clinton.

Mayesy that's a beautiful tribute, brought a tear to my eye!
Such a tragedy, particularly if it was a sleepwalking incident as they are saying in the media.
Clinton will be sorely missed. He was such a young, dedicated footy fan.
Condolences to family and friends.

I just read on news.com.au that they believe his death happened because of sleepwalking.
Terrible news
Condolences to his family.

In the Herald Sun, they believe he may have taken a fall whilst he was sleepwalking. Terribly sad news.
On a side note, the Herald Sun have also reported that he once woke up on his 15th floor balcony very frightened after sleep walking.

His best bit of commentating was when Fev kicked that Goal on the half time siren against the Weagles at Subi
"Fev gets the kick away" , "Its a GOAL!!!!"

It is just the most awful, awful news.
He was a wonderful commentator and seemed like a very genuine person as well.
Very sad.

I know when people die young we tend to embelish their talent, but quite honestly Clinton Grybas was the best young sports commentator to come along in years. The great tragedy, beyond the obvious, is we'll never get to see him front a major networks broadcasting team.
WLF was a fantastic show, and people outside the industry don't really understand just how difficult it is to do talkback tv, let alone 5 times a week. It takes a special talent to pull that off.
Very Sad Day.

Gut wrenching, tragic news.
Will never forget his calls, in particularly the round 15 Dockers vs Kangaroos clash last season.
Why does this stuff happen to the best?
Does anyone know who he barracked for?

Strong Pies man. But you would never know it in his calling. Seems like the only fault the bloke had.
Terrible news.Loved his work.What a shock.Condolences to his family
I don't usually read their articles but I thought Caro's and Mike Shehan's pieces were beautifully written. Credit to them both.
Such a waste of talent, he made the footy exciting no matter who was playing.

RIP CG. Being from interstate we got to hear and see plenty of you on Fox. A very balanced presenter, unlike some of the rubbish dished up by those with an axe to grind against our great club!
