RIP Drew Morphett

I just heard that Drew Morphett has passed away.

I didn't mind his commentary and insights into various sports.

RIP

Sad news, only 69 years old. I remember him on the ABC years ago before he went to Ch 7.
RIP.

RIP.

Same. An old school commentator that could teach the current crop of BT, Darcy etc. a thing or two.

RIP

The Coodabeens had a bit of a tribute to Drew and one of the stories told involved Drew being taken to a function to celebrate a young lad's 22nd birthday.  Before long, Drew had all of the young blokes involved in a two-up school!

He was old school but in a good way!

The old school was the one I went to. I was happy there!  ;)

Drew was my absolute favourite commentator.  He drew (pun unintended) the picture around the game, without screeching or trying to be the star of the game.  VALE Drew.  :'(
