One of the better AFL commentators out there. He had genuine emotion and excitement for the game when he called it. He formed one of the best AFL calling teams with Healy and Carey.

Pioneered the way AFL should be called.

He will be sorely missed.

Yes will be missed - certainly in my top few commentators.

Life really is so short.

agreed...those three were a perfect mix of a head caller, an entertainer, a tactician and an educated and somewhat blunt opinion on teams and issues

I've seen it but still cannot believe it!

Clinton you will be missed, you were an emerging star in television coverage and always mr professional.

Your knowledge of the game was outstanding, your calls were exciting and you will not be replaced.

32 years young, very very unfair!

That is tragic news.

Clinton was my favourite commentator and was the epitome of fairness in his calls and editorial comments.

I've lost count of how many times I called 'White Line Fever' over the 5 years it ran; but I do remeber him always giving the Saints and their supporters a fair go.

VALE Clinton.

My god ...

Best commentator on TV and a terrific bloke from all reports.

Tragic news.

Condolences to his family.

Definatly my favourite commentator. He always called the game in a very straightforward manner without carrying on with some of the unneccisary crap that some commentators come out with.....And could still convey the emotion of the game and make it exciting.....will be missed

R.I.P. My favourite commentator that ever existed, and today is very tragic to hear about his death at his age. My condolences to the Grybas. Will be missed by many.

Couldn't agree more, has been my favorite commentator for a few years now.

Shattered when I heard the news

Rest In Peace Clinton... The footy world will not be the same ever again without you.

very sad, great caller

Seaford_Saint · Sat 05 Jan 2008 8:50pm

RIP Clinton.

Thoughts are with Ash and the family.... it hasn't been an easy few years for the family I know, but you always carried yourself with respect.

Will treasure the memories of those Nunawading bball nights.... gun caller... greater at the point... and above all else, a top-shelf guy.

Love Macca & Dave.

A very, very sad loss indeed.

R.I.P. Clinton.
