The funniest thing is the absolute disdain he has for anything the Ox comes out with. Not sure if the Ox is smart enough to realise when Cometti is making him look like a fool but you'd think it will come to a head one day.

Is it openly known whether or not Cometti and the Ox dislike each other?

Remember a few weeks back Richo said something along the lines of 'placing a bet' and Cometti said 'I'll send down the Ox to talk you out of it.' :D
 
'Scotty Cummings alone in the square, jumping up and down and waving his arms like they're playing My Sharona ...'

'Farmer may have an injury to his calf ... hmmm, a farmer with a calf problem ...'

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

"Ball to Barker to Barlow - The Hawks are attacking alphabetically"

On Melbourne's Adam Yze: "A terrific player . . . terrible scrabble hand."

"Ling's running off the ground a little bit gingerly."

"Cousins, runs away from Carr ... not the first time we've seen that this season."

'Hay is bailed up on the boundary line . . .'

'Walker to Carr . . . that's a step up . . .'

'He's made a typo! - he wanted Bickley and he's got Buckley!'

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

After Darren Gaspar hits the post from 40 metres out: "Gaspar, the unfriendly post."

"Ashley McIntosh, like a good hair spray ... capable of a subtle hold."

"Ball in dispute, Lamb, now Yze the meat in the sandwich. Really Lamb should be in the sandwich."

On former Magpie, Crow and now Cat, Brenton Sanderson: "He goes much better as a mammal."

There is no way some of those could be premeditated ... for instance, did he have the 'Strippergram' line ready to go just in case Gram happened to have his shorts pulled down in a rather unruly tackle?

similarly with the gaspar one- you could have waited a long time for the Gas man to have a shot on goal. By the way on a somewhat related matter apparently Chris Newman told Gaspar before the tiges-west coast game that the 's' in Nahas was silent so the broadcast team gas works with called him 'Naha' all night.
 
A couple of years ago, Tuck from Richmond completely miss-kicked the ball. Cometti said something like "the team psychologist would want to take a look at that, he kicked the ball and screamed out his own name"
 
Can't remember exactly who was playing....but it was Collingwood and someone when Heath and Rhyce Shaw were playing together....

"he's got Heath on one side of him and Rhyce the other.....he's girt by shaws"


Peter Street....lining up for goal on the boundary when he decides to run around to open up the angle.

"Peter Street, like a dancer trapped in the body of tree"

That is brilliant:thumbsu: Havent heard a lot of these besides the classics (Everitt, misty optically etc)
 
He has had some shockers amidst the gold though ...I think it was the Saints verses Blues game where he let rip with " Jacks a ripper! " after Jack Steven kicked a belated goal for the Saints ..it went down like a lead balloon.

I would imagine he has a list of lines he can trot out if the occasion arises ..as well as on the spur of the moment calls .

"He made a typo! He tried for Bickley and he got Buckley!"

“Chaplin to Surjan, sounds like bad karma - better than the reverse order though.”
 
The one i loved was something along the lines of
Dermett breretton - gee its hard to tell cook and farmer apart some times
Dennis - Why is that Derm
Derm - well, umm, i guess it's because they're both...
Dennis - ...Midfielders yes derm
 
The commentry box are talking about how such and such would be the bloke you'd have kicking for goal if your life was on the line...

''I'd prefer my mum...Not a great footballer, but at least she'd care.''
