Truly the end of an era. I for one at least will miss him. Some great memories.
Thanks Dennis and enjoy the next phase in your life.

Legend. Favorite line:
"He went in optimistically and came out misty optically" in reference to a player who came out of a pack bloody eyed.
Pav recounted one today on ch7. The two Carr brothers were both wearing no 9 and playing for PA and Freo respectively when they collided during the game. Dennis chimed in with something like:
"Look at that, a two Carr collision both with the same rego plates"
Will miss you Den.

I hope McAvaney goes sooner, rather than later. I hate his commentary. His predictive calling is annoying and when he gets it wrong we have to listen to his reason for getting it wrong as well! Then there's the stretched names!!!! Rioliiiiiiii, Popppppeeeeee, Roughieeeeee!
The wrong guy is retiring. Thanks DC.

Thanks DC. Somehow I think we'll be hearing him again... Even if it is from the west

Lets just say this, Ch.7 are in massive trouble now he's gone, their 2nd best is so far behind they haven't been spotted coming over the horizon.
