What football teams did Dennis Commetti play for and was he a ruckman?

Question

Feel free to throw in your favourite Commetti one liners too.

Mine for this week is "he had to improvise like an armless hitch-hiker".

Answer 1

West Perth who he also coached.

Answer 2

West Perth & also Footscray - I think.

He also coached West Perth - but he has turned out a far better commentator & mine host than he was as a footballer or coach.

Answer 3

Today in the last quarter, referring to Heath Shaw, who was knackered - "he looks like he just rode a horse from Darwin"

Answer 4

West Perth and Footscray

"Barlow to Bateman, Hawthorn are attacking alphabetically"

Answer 5

Yeah West Perth sounds right, I know it was a WA team.

Two weeks ago after a poor kick : "he kicked that like my wife"

funny and offensive - Classic Commetti

Answer 6

he started at west Perth and played a few games for footscray b4 going back to WA. i would think he was a ruckman, i thought he was half back flanker, pretty sure.

he does come up with some rippers, too many to remember,he always managers to get lines from old songs into his calling, which i think is very clever funny bloke, drops them without others realizing, like Richie benaud does on a regular basis.

Answer 7

Wset Perth & Footscary
