Vale Dennis Cometti

You were indeed centimetre perfect, one of a kind.
My favourite all timer was:
"He went in optimistically and came out misty optically" in reference to a player who'd been king hit in a pack (Libba v Knights maybe).

Very sad news.  Apparently Dennis had been battling an illness for a couple of years.

He was a very knowledgeable and entertaining commentator - one of the best!

My favourite of Dennis's many brilliant lines was when Heath Shaw smothered Nick Riewoldt's certain goal in the 2010 Grand Final: "He came up behind him like a librarian!"

RIP

His "special" comments almost need their own thread, hilarious and extremely clever man.

Very sad indeed, a great commentator.

For me even sadder, because Cometti was the natural antidote against the BTs!
