What is your favourite TV/Radio commentary team?

The only commentary team I can stand, really, is Tim Lane and Tony Leonard on 3AW (ignoring the special commentators, of whom there aren't many that are any good...Carey? Ling? Richo's awful, Lloyd's horrendously biased, Matthews is past it, Darcy's cliched, Chris Johnson has no idea what he's on about...the list goes on).

"He really needs to kick this goal...."

"He really needed to kick that goal...."

"They need the next goal...."

"That is a bad time to turn it over...."

Some of Richo's most insightful comments.

Huddo brings the excitement. Bruce is cringeworthy and dated.

Yes , Bruce is certainly cringeworthy don't you think ?....AND dated isn't he ??? .

Watching Lloyd now on Classified proves my arguement that he is ridiculously bias towards his mate at Essendon. He is the only deluded one who think he will still coach till the end of the year. The fact he is still backing hird is mind boggling.

I didn't see the program, but I don't think having an opinion that Hird will coach to the end of the year is, in itself, necessarily biased. I'm not an Essendon or Hird supporter and I think Hird will see the year out. Do I think he should? That's a different question.

I really don't rate the boundary rider position at all.

However given the seemingly mandated 'entertainment' factor in current commentary, he'd unwittingly save my team from being too dry.

it's been down hill since Harry Bietzel and Tommy Lahiff departed.

" You there Harry? "

How about the classic Tommy Lahiff line during a cross to the Collingwood rooms. " I'm in the Collingwood rooms Harry, Daicos' has got a groin" A great relief for all the listeners.

Thanks Rough End,

but Joh Bjelke Peterson is out of office and lead paint is also considered dangerous.

What if we combined BT with Dwayne?

Dwayne doesn't commentate enough, but BT commentates too much (hear him trying to commentate the rain on Thursday?)

Possible dream team?

A dream team of BT and Dwayne?!? One man's dreams are another man's nightmares.

Eddie drove me mad with his barracking for Essendon on Saturday. Especially with the touched call, kept saying it was over, even after all the other commentators said the call was right.

Was reading a forum a while ago about who was the best radio/Tv radio in the business so thought id ask around here to get who everyone liked to listen to.

I can't stand channel 7 anymore. The Saturday night team are a joke, the way they just ramble on about other stuff instead of just commentating on the game. They are so ridiculous bias on certain teams its beyond the joke. I like listening to Dennis still at least he calls the game without any bias towards it and pretending he is a coach. Nick Maxwell special comments on Collingwood is worse then Eddie..!

Some might find this surprising but I don't mind listening to Wayne Carey. He calls it how he sees it and doesn't hold back on anything. I have also noticed he has a soft spot for us and even gave Matthew Lloyd a fair old wack about the comments on Roos coaching. He knows the game well inside out still.

Gotta admit I love listening to the Triple M Saturday rub team before the footy. Its a good laugh with Garry, JB, Spud and the Chief. Spud absolutely gives it to Purple headed warrior every chance he gets. Some of the youtube clips are a good laugh.

Don't mind them too when they call the game, at least they make the game exciting! I also don't mind listening to Garry and Chief as special comments as well. Calls it as they see it just like Carey and won't hold back. Up there as my top number 1 for me.

BT is much better suited to Triple M then the channel 7 team I reckon. Doesn't take himself serious as most of them do on 7 and fits in well with all the others on Triple M

Fox footy can be good at times it just depends who is calling the game. Personally think Anthony Hudson is the best in the business. Especially when the game is exciting and on the edge! I thought he was superb on channel 10 and some of the best games in the mid 2000s featured him a lot.

Dwayne.. Don't get me started..

Sandy Roberts, Unfortunately I think he is out of touch with todays game. He gets so many names wrong its so cringe worthy to listen to and im surprised he doesn't get pulled up a lot. Still like him just needs to sharpen up a bit.

Jonathon Brown. Still 50/50..

Who do you all prefer?

can't stand the modern afl calls, all stats, & ramblin ego tripping

sickening turn-OFF

7-footy-team-620x349.jpgfail, boring 'try too hard' snooze fest

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

go along wayz back; to be entertained by the not-over-powering commentators; & be entertained by the game itself, without adulterated bozo's trying to be stars of screen.

I like the easy going times of yesteryear, where commentator anchor wasn't an Ex-player, but was a devotee, & NOT full of stats, & shyte.

and there was time to breathe in, between commentators commentary

............. Memo to todays commentators: STFU, & let the game play, speaking only now & again.

Luke Darcy is the worst. The absolute worst.

and for some reason he is on that morning radio show with Eddie? On what planet do listeners want to listen to an unfunny bogan with an annoying voice? (Darcy I mean, not Ed)

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
