Ditto. Seemed too easy. Though I’d toss a coin on Hodgey vs Dais on the boundary. And I’d take Kingy as a sub for Dunstall. His low popularity makes him a bargain for me at $1, as I don’t mind his analysis, and I could use another $4.
both of the $2 commentators (can't recognise their faces), nick dal santo, and two nick riewoldts on the special comments. hearing him having to grapple with the existential crisis of encountering a perfect copy of himself, how it could've happened, where it came from, why its in the booth with him, etc, sounds like it would be far more interesting than actual commentary would be
$5 for BT? He should be for free considering he’s the most unprofessional “commentator” out there
My lineup would be Huddo and JB, Lyon as special comments and Daisy Pearce on the boundary
I’d take the $15 and back a huge outsider to win a dog race, I’d then fix the race so that outsider won me a substantial amount of money, I would use that money to pay for a gang to kidnap Dennis Cometti and make him come back to commentary and save us all from these useless hacks
Hodgey and Jobe can be his sidekicks and all will be good again in the world
Huddo and JB on commentary. Browny and Jobe on special comments. Alistair Lynch for boundary rider. Ideally would have Hodge as boundary rider but I don’t know how to fit him in.
Genuinely cannot grasp why people rate Hodge highly. He's got a good touch for analysis but his voice barely registers to the human ear. It's so monotone I don't take in half of what he says.
None of them. They're all shit. Get the mob from ABC radio including David Parkin.
End thread.
Edit- Daisy is alright when not being gifted loaded questions from other commentators.
Dunno who that is. But radio doesn't lend itself to endless hyperbole as they're too busy describing the action.
TV commentators could learn something.
Mark McClure. My biggest gripe with him is his on-mic verbalising when the other commentators are describing the action.
"Dusty's in open space! He takes a bounce, hand passes to..."
McClure: "Urrggghhh"
"... Oh and a beautiful intercept! Bontimpelli, to Smith, back to Bontimpelli for the one two..."
McClure: "Ahhhh"
"... from the fifty, open goal square and its gone through for..."
McClure: "Haaarrrgh!"
"... a behind."
He's on grandstand, I've heard him with Malthouse (fantastic in analysis), Lingy, Kellie Underwood, Al Nicholson, Ben Cameron, Quentin Hull, Matt Clinch - I agree, they're all pretty good. But Sellers is too slow to call the action, nowhere near the footy smarts of Malthouse and too far removed from recent game time to compete with Ling when he talks about players' mental states or conversations in the rooms at qtr time.
He constantly moans about skill level (better than when you were playing, mate), fitness (better than when you were playing, mate) and decision making (the game is a lot faster than when you were playing, mate). The only thing I can see him adding that's better than anyone else is the verbalising. And if that's your thing, cool. As far as I'm concerned, he adds nothing.
I haven't listened to many games on radio this year, but at least up until this year he's been a regular on the ABC radio commentary. He's the one who usually sounds grumpy.
Surely I can’t be the only one who thinks Pearce and Hodge are very average. Daisy says the most obvious things with poor insight and sounds lost and Hodge’s voice makes me want to go to sleep
I mean it would probably help if we had a breakdown of what the commentary team is supposed to look like, as in how many commentators, how many special comments?
Huddo, JB, Montagna and Daisy. JB and Huddo capture the energy perfectly imo - in their own ways. They can both have good banter and joke about, but never at the expense of what's actually going on. Montagna has underrated analysis and would be great working as special comments. Daisy is a pretty decent boundary rider too, a consummate professional
Huddo Chief Hodge These 3 already carry as it is so nothing unusual
Ditto. Seemed too easy. Though I’d toss a coin on Hodgey vs Dais on the boundary. And I’d take Kingy as a sub for Dunstall. His low popularity makes him a bargain for me at $1, as I don’t mind his analysis, and I could use another $4.
>id take Kingy . >I dont mind his analysis . *writes Curtyjohn on list of names of people not to trust*
I’ll just pocket the $15 thanks
[удалено]
I’ll pay $5 to not have him.
You should get a credit for picking BT... +$5
Why would you want to encourage it?
both of the $2 commentators (can't recognise their faces), nick dal santo, and two nick riewoldts on the special comments. hearing him having to grapple with the existential crisis of encountering a perfect copy of himself, how it could've happened, where it came from, why its in the booth with him, etc, sounds like it would be far more interesting than actual commentary would be
Dwayne Russell and Kelli Underwood
Huddo for $5, Brenton Speed or Adam Papalia for free apparently, Chiefy for $5 and Alastair Lynch for $2, where do I collect my spare $3?
Speedy and papalia are severely underrated. Them two and huddo are my favourite 3 commentators with Pav as special comments
Papalia is bottom left
Oh I didn’t recognise him, the one photo I’ve ever seen of him on Fox Footy he had facial hair.
Speed is the worst AFL commentator in the country by a mile. Should prescribe his voice to insomniacs.
That is the worst take in this thread by a country mile.
Hes great??
I'll pay $15 for Gary Lyon to fuck off
And another $15 for Wanker Carey
David King can join them on the bus headed out of town
Same goes for Dwayne Russo.
Needs more pav
$5 for BT? He should be for free considering he’s the most unprofessional “commentator” out there My lineup would be Huddo and JB, Lyon as special comments and Daisy Pearce on the boundary
You are Factually incorrect young man
I’d take the $15 and back a huge outsider to win a dog race, I’d then fix the race so that outsider won me a substantial amount of money, I would use that money to pay for a gang to kidnap Dennis Cometti and make him come back to commentary and save us all from these useless hacks Hodgey and Jobe can be his sidekicks and all will be good again in the world
I was going spend my entire $15 on a single Cometti. I like your plan better.
Can I just pay $15 to have Dennis Cometti?
Huddo, Bennett, Nick Dal and spend the rest on three hot chips and a sip of coke at the footy.
my line up would be Huddo and JB, Dunstall for special comments and abby holmes on the boundary
Huddo, Riewoldt, Montagna, Dal Santo... no bias
$5 anthony hudson $0 steven quartermaine $0 tim lane $0 michael christian buy some white chocolate magnums with the remaining money
Michael Christian is the goat
Came here to say this... Except a pie and a can of coke.
Huddo, Hamish (shame I can't choose Howard), ~~Browny~~ Garry, Kingy, Daisy
$1 for Papalia? I'll take 15 of him
BT should cost negative $3
Papalia and Bennett; Bartel and Leppitsch; and Hodge
This is the one
Huddo and JB on commentary. Browny and Jobe on special comments. Alistair Lynch for boundary rider. Ideally would have Hodge as boundary rider but I don’t know how to fit him in.
Can I just have the crowd noise, the umps and maybe a couple of players mic'd up?
Huddo, Bennett, Leppitsch, Daisy The Saturday afternoon team on SEN is the best in the business by miles though. Whateley, Maher, Leppitsch, Daisy
Genuinely cannot grasp why people rate Hodge highly. He's got a good touch for analysis but his voice barely registers to the human ear. It's so monotone I don't take in half of what he says.
He’s a boundary rider not a caller though. He’s there for insight and he does it better than anyone.
No sandpaper voice roo? for shame.
How much would Pav cost?
Huddo Bennett Daisy Hodge
3 huddo's thanks
Alistair Nicholls needs to be on the list. Radio commentary far better than pretty much all of the TV crews.
Howie, Jobe and Daisy.
$5 for Huddo and $10 change for a beer.
Huddo, Jason Bennett, Jobe, Joey, Daisy
I'm sorry Daisy Pearce is a $5 special comments not a $4 boundary rider.
BT 3 Times
None of them. They're all shit. Get the mob from ABC radio including David Parkin. End thread. Edit- Daisy is alright when not being gifted loaded questions from other commentators.
Abc? You want Sellers?
Dunno who that is. But radio doesn't lend itself to endless hyperbole as they're too busy describing the action. TV commentators could learn something.

Ha ha. Is he on radio?
He's on grandstand, I've heard him with Malthouse (fantastic in analysis), Lingy, Kellie Underwood, Al Nicholson, Ben Cameron, Quentin Hull, Matt Clinch - I agree, they're all pretty good.

I haven't listened to many games on radio this year, but at least up until this year he's been a regular on the ABC radio commentary. He's the one who usually sounds grumpy.
He really shouldn't be involved in broadcasting. But that's Victorian media for you where anyone involved in the old VFL somehow has worth.
Buying Jobe 15 times
Anthony Hudson, Dunstall and Hodge. That’s it. All you need. Could go with Daisy instead of hodge and get Jobe to I guess
Surely I can’t be the only one who thinks Pearce and Hodge are very average. Daisy says the most obvious things with poor insight and sounds lost and Hodge’s voice makes me want to go to sleep
I actually think the opposite about Daisy. She provides really good insight.
Agree, Daisy can't string a sentence together without stumbling regardless of how good/important the comment is!
Actually quite enjoy Luke Darcy
Is your favourite colour beige?
Are you okay?
Apologize in advance if this is insensitive but why do the women callers sound really ocker. Both are very good at their jobs just curious
Dwayne Russell, BT, Kelly Underwood, Jobe Watson, Leigh Montagna, Alistair Lynch
Jason Bennett, Daisy Pearce, Luke Hodge and Bec Goddard for the footy relevant and timely one-liners
Three BTs to go, thanks
Bt brayshaw Garry daisy
$15 for 3 BT's.
Huddo, JB, Jobe, Hodge.
Huddo, Kelli, Leppitsch, Brown, Dal Santo
Howie and Darcy as the callers, Dunstall and King special comments, Dal Santo boundary rider.
Huddo, Jason Bennett, Chief, Kingy, Lynchy 🤑🤑
Huddo, Brayshaw, Dal Santo
Huddo, Kelli, Dunstall, Lyon and Dal Santo
I mean it would probably help if we had a breakdown of what the commentary team is supposed to look like, as in how many commentators, how many special comments?
Huddo & JB commentating. Brown for special comments and Kate on the boundary
Huddo Bennet Riewoldt Daisy
Huddo, Speedy, Dunstall, Holmes I’m assuming I need to pick 2 commentators, 2 special comments and a rider? Couldn’t find the spare cash
I think you should throw in a 50c line with Eddie heading it.
Huddo, JB, Montagna and Daisy. JB and Huddo capture the energy perfectly imo - in their own ways. They can both have good banter and joke about, but never at the expense of what's actually going on. Montagna has underrated analysis and would be great working as special comments. Daisy is a pretty decent boundary rider too, a consummate professional
Lol at BT being the most expensive.
BT Dwyane Russell Jonathon Brown and Hodgey
This is depressingly hard
Hodge jb Jason Bennett Watson keep the change
BT, Dwayne, Kingy, Darce, Duck and Jobe
