Cometti has a good understanding of the game and I think that gave his commentating an edge over other callers. He lacks the 'look at me' behaviour of some and doesn't get caught up in the nonsense that helps spoil Taylor's commentary.
Interestingly, he said that he wasn't retiring, just not travelling anymore. I wonder if he'll call the WA games.

I hope so.
Anyone is better than Basil Zempilas. The guy barracks for western australian teams when he is calling and is boring as watching paint dry. Commetti has some of the best one liners in the game. He is like the iconic commentary team members from the 90's who were all distinctly different, but had charachter.

That's exactly what I've heard. DC will continue to commentate, just not away from his home state. He's been fabulous to listen to IMO. There are times I listen to some of the newer generation, and struggle to recognise it as AFL. So many on TV and radio are so full of themselves, and the commentary reflects just that. I've no doubt they watch themselves and think they're legend's. As Benjamin Franklin said "he that falls in love with himself will have no rivals" Narcissus lives on... BTW this trait is very common amongst men (or women) who cheat on their partners :o familiar? So long as commentators can stay focused on the game, I'll keep listening. Not holding my breath though...

Then why do it on live TV when the Premiers are celebrating down below? Narcissism at its best.

like a favorite uncle going away for good.
Whats left behind are idiots that lack flair, wit and ruin a good game... bleak days ahead

I think that Eddie McGuire would be the new best commentator.

Did it well. End of their telecast and it was brief but sincere. 40 years of brilliant commentary deserved to be recognized.
