I just heard that Drew Morphett has passed away.

I didn't mind his commentary and insights into various sports.

RIP

Sad news, only 69 years old. I remember him on the ABC years ago before he went to Ch 7.
RIP.

RIP.

Same. An old school commentator that could teach the current crop of BT, Darcy etc. a thing or two.

RIP

The Coodabeens had a bit of a tribute to Drew and one of the stories told involved Drew being taken to a function to celebrate a young lad's 22nd birthday.  Before long, Drew had all of the young blokes involved in a two-up school!

He was old school but in a good way!

The old school was the one I went to. I was happy there!  Wink

Drew was my absolute favourite commentator.  He drew (pun unintended) the picture around the game, without screeching or trying to be the star of the game.  VALE Drew.  :'(
