No body says it better then the late great Jack Dyer

-Bosustow is a good ordinary footballer

I predicted this - Mike Williamson

I think this one was "I tipped this". (in response to E.J.'s "Mike you could be right, this could be a draw")

Was there ever a better commentary than '66?

Ian 'Daisy' Day

'' You little balltearer''

Ian Day said this (or "what a balltearer") moments after the 1987 SA v Vic State of Origin game won by SA by 4 points. One of the great 1980's SofO games.He was calling the game for Adelaide Ch 7. Melbourne viewers got the ABC commentary, Tim Lane, Drew Morphett and Kevin Barlett.

This game is always refered to as "The Balltearer Game" by a lot of South Aussies.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

From the Collingwood v WC game 2004, at Telstra Dome, a lot of players were pushing and shoving one another, Dennis as quick as a flash says,
" Arms everywhere, no sign of Hans Blix". Pure genius.
