The radio team will be boosted greatly by the 40-year career caller, as the semi-retired Cometti was part of the greatest AFL commentary duo of all time, along side Bruce McAvaney.
The 72 year-old retired from the AFL calling booth in 2016 and was renowned for his classic analogies and witty humour, along with his unrivaled knowledge of the game.
One of his most recalled moments came during his call of the 2010 Grand Final, in which he uttered "He came up behind him like a librarian" after Nick Riewoldt had a certain goal chased down by Health Shaw.
