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.
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. :'(
Just shocked when I heard the news....feeling VERY old now. Greatly missed.
Vale Drew. You will be missed.
He will always be a 'winner'
Really shocked and saddened to hear this news this morning, seemed to be a terrific guy from the tributes I have been hearing from his colleagues today....RIP Drew
So sad, Vale Drew Morphett , lots of memories , RIP
