Geezuz, SHUT UP Dermie!!

[MacMum]

....it's going to be a long season listening to him waffle on, so thought I'd give us a thread to vent our spleens..

Go at it peeps..

 

[Dazb86]

Continually gets the same players names wrong. Marcus Picken and Jesse Stringer.

 

[Testekill]

Getting peoples names right is for nerds

 

[Great8]

Imagine being seated between Dermie and Kingy at a function. I'd cut my ears off with a butter knife

 

[Nostradumbass]

Has he told the story about riding a Harley into The Metro yet? Can't wait to hear that for the 57836th time.

 

[STFU Donnie]

Not a prob!

I stopped listening to him years ago.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

He's kind of like Warne with cricket commentary - the good things he says are very insightful, almost beyond any other commentator, the bad things are utter garbage also beyond any other commentator.

 

[Shane Hird]

Never.shuts.up

Like Browny and Shawy..they never. Shut. Up.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Not just butchers the English language but tortures it

 

[rumply]

Nah, Derms OK, plenty worse commentators polluting the airwaves

 

[Gavin Excell]

I love it when he calls a hawks game. He tries so so hard

 

[Jim Prideaux]

He is usually fairly critical of us in the papers.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

He proposed to someone once, that person was in a mirror.

 

[WCErevival]

Need a petition to get him off tv

 

[Jim Prideaux]

He proposed to someone once, that person was in a mirror.

They said no too, it wasn't him, it was him.

 

[Bokonon_]

Apparently we're his second team, but not necessarily willingly.

 

[Milanista28]

Will try to explain something that has happened but take 37 hours. Does my ******* head in.

 

[Chuckie357]

Don't be silly, all that peroxide in his hair has killed the tiny Homer Simpson's peanut sized brain he had years ago. Someone would write those for him

 

[Jim Prideaux]

So someone is paying someone to write s**t that mind bogglingly daft to keep up the illusion?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

If the English language was a cow, he'd be making a ******* fortune.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

On a serious note, whilst he does spout some utter garbage, he does also drop the odd nugget of genius. That's a lot more than can be said for 90% of AFL media "personalities".

Edit:

It's like this, you and a mate have been on a decent heroin binge, at some point in time you mate swallowed some diamonds. Now you're in a small room, with no toilet, the rozzers are outside - you need to hold on to those diamonds (because they're diamonds!) but the lack of heroin has turned your mates bowels to mush, those diamonds are coming out soon, so be ready. Do you hope he can hold it for the next hour whilst you get arrested(he can't)? No, you tell him to let go now, rifle through the billious mess on the floor, get the diamonds and re swallow them yourself. That's Derms commentary, mostly loose s**t, but the odd diamond is in it if you look hard enough.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Will go down as one of the all great commentator's. Surely a statue of dermie in front of the MCG with a fox footy microphone is imminent.

Well said. The old Hawthorn adage of "don't think, just do" paying dividends again.

Derm's motto is "don't think, just doo-doo".

 

[Alley oops]

Oh Dermie I miss you. My favourite. You can't accuse him of overthinking except as he threaded his way through the Essendon huddle. He made the opposition suffer while he played and now it seems as a commentator just calling the game as it is.
