      Thank you BAD, hair on the back of my neck still stands up.

      Cometti's commentary at the final siren is very lacklustre and ordinary, I would have thought he would have given more being a Dog's man.
      He might have been in shock like the rest of us though.
      It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

          You would have thought it's the last time anybody will ever hear from you commentating and it's "your" old team winning an impossibly romantic premiership that you'd put a bit of colour into it.

          Then again as you say maybe he was a bit speechless like the rest of us. I know I would have been no good commentating the moment. At that exact time I could only mumble the word *!*!*!*! over and over again and I don't think that's what c7 would have been looking for.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              Probably wasn't what Triple M were looking for, but it didn't stop BT! That was a brilliant moment. I've watched the GF *several* times, and Commetti and Bruuuce's call was terrible.

                  In fairness to Dennis , MMM tried to throw to Darce to call the last 10 seconds and he couldn't do it. He was overcome.

                  It was Dennis' last game and he would have been extraordinarily emotional. Won't hold it against him.

                      What a way for Den to go out, Bulldogs Premiership. A team he has had more than a little bit to do with over his career.
                      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                          It was great hearing Darcy trying to speak in those last moments. He just couldn't do it.
