Damn, sad news.
Definitely the best in my time of watching footy.
Condolences to his family and friends.
76 is too young.

Jeez, what a gut punch...didn't even know he was unwell.
An absolute darling of WA, I don't think I've ever heard a bad word spoken about the great man.

There will be plenty of tributes for him as the AFL commentator in the main board thread, but I think on the West Coast board he should also be remembered as a strong advocate for WA football, especially in a time when the VFL mentality was still very much accepted and West Coast were struggling to gain acceptance. In a way, he helped the pave the way for us, Freo and the true national competition we (almost) have today.

He was the voice of the AFL. There won't ever be another Dennis Cometti.

Out of the blue, shocked. RIP Den, truly the most impartial and intelligent commentator the AFL ever had.

That was a shock to read.
In an era when the word legend is thrown around way too often, simply put Cometti was one.
He was The GOAT
The voice, the knowledge, the feel for the moments in a game and the impeccable delivery of some of his famous one liners.
Best game caller I ever heard.
Rest well and I hope that you have prime seats in the Corporate Box on The Wing at "Pearly Gate Stadium".

Sad news. Every story you heard about him was just him doing good things. By all reports a thoroughly decent man and gentleman.
A lot of people have tried to imitate him over time, but none have managed the effortless way he went about it.

The best in my mind and a good bloke. As an aside i saw him play one game for Waneroo (Under a false name) he got rough treatment but played in the best of spirits.
