James Bradshaw in the Prelim Final when Dickson kicks a goal on Heath Shaw.
"Dickson goals and goes straight up to Heath Shaw with a bit of Take some of that you Smart Ass!"
Huddo 's call on SEN in the immediate aftermath of the prelim,( ie straight after the siren,) sends chills down the spine. He sums up the passion and emotion perfectly.

Bruce called a fantastic game. When Bruce tries to be a special comments ,an he really struggles when he just calls the action, he's great.1. "Tom Boyd goes long, how will it bounce...the stadium holds its breath...it's a goal! And the Western Suburbs erupt"
2. "Gives Picken a chance...it's over, it's all over, the drought! The dam wall has busted! It's 62 long years!"
3. "Stringer....oh yes he's done it! The package! Might deliver a cup..."
4. "To hit the front, to hit the front...the dogs are back in front!"
5. "I've been wanting to say this for as long as I can remember...the Bulldogs go through to a Grand Final! Can you believe it?!"
All of these calls give me goosebumps.
A few tidbits:
- People these days have their gripes about Bruce and Dennis. Some of them are fair, but on the whole, people need to appreciate them more. They're brilliant. Dennis in particular is going to be missed big time. Best commentator ever.
- I usually cannot stand biased commentary, even if it's towards a team I support. However, Darce's call of the final moments of the GWS game was brilliant, and really got to me. The emotion in his voice, it's exactly what we were all feeling. Sensational.
I also loved that moment after Bonti kicks the goal to put us in front in the last and Darce says, "And look at the Bulldogs fans, they just can't bear it. Neither can I."
- BT has grown on me a little bit as a commentator. He used to s**t me with his obnoxious yelling, but when he just commentates, he's quite good.
- Also think that Channel 7, who cop quite bit of flak (mostly justified) deserve a bit of credit for excellent coverage. The Semi Final, Preliminary Final and Grand Final, when you watch them, you can really feel and hear the energy and noise of the crowd.
Been looking around of the ch7 video of darce at the end of the GWS game for nostalgia. Anyone got the vid saved?
There was a similar piece of commentary in the same quarter from Jason Dunstall on Triple M: "Well the one thing Hawthorn wants is uncontested possessions. In this quarter uncontested possessions are 57 to 24 in favour of the Bulldogs."During the third quarter versus Hawthorn, just prior to "Of course it's him!", a stat was flashed on the screen showing the total disposals for both teams during that quarter. We were leading Hawthorn 118 to 58.
On Channel 7 Wayne Carey declared, "Look at that third quarter. That's a smashing."
Official proclamation from the King that we were knifing the reigning premiers.
I like the chief. Provides good special commentary tbh. Not biased either, tells it how it isThere was a similar piece of commentary in the same quarter from Jason Dunstall on Triple M: "Well the one thing Hawthorn wants is uncontested possessions. In this quarter uncontested possessions are 57 to 24 in favour of the Bulldogs."
Huddo is a gem of a caller.
I should post my solo commentary from the stands of Subi of Bont's bomb in the last quarter of the EF, lost ocker dog in the deathly silence of an Eagles nest
I though the commentary was brilliant for all four finals.
The game I've watched the most is the Hawks game - as they say " to be the champ you got to beat the champ" and that third quarter we absolutely rattled them.
Some of my favourite comments from this game:
Just before the first bounce to start the game:
Bruce - "I don't know about you Den but I'm excited"
Dennis - "me too Bruce"
After Dickson missed his first sitter and Dennis said "in comes Dickson, no challenge here" - a few minutes later Dickson was lining up another set shot and Dennis says: " well no predictions from me"
With 9 mins to go in the first Dickson takes an uncontested mark on half back:
Dennis: "Dickson often floats down back to help out (slight pause) he'd be a lot more helpful though if he kicked straight"
When Bont takes that contested mark on Hodge:
Bruce: " Dare I say it Duck but that mark was Carey like - and you don't have to blush because it was".
