Rex Hunt is an idiot, totally detracts from what is happening on the field which is what i thought the role of a commentator is: describe what is happening on the field, not make it more confusng.

Best Commentators are:

Tim Lane and Gerald Whately. I don't mind Dan Lonergan either.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

I like listening to Josh Francou and Chris McDermott. They are always insightful and honest and just commentate on what is going on and they stick to the facts. Rex Hunt is pathetic, annoying and two-faced.... Rowey carries on like a junior Rex or junior KG, Wildy just has no idea and likes to argue for the sake of arguing, Dittmar is OK in patches. The rest I'm neither here nor there over.
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

Love listening to the (Melbourne) Triple M team on the Friday night & Saturday arvo with Bristle, Gary Lyon & Brayshaw.

On the telly i have been surprised by Nathan buckley. Has all the personal characteristics of a plank of wood but as a special comments man he adds to the telecast.

The Fox team of Matthew Campbell, Jakovich, Pickering would be the worst. Fox miss Clinton Grybas who i thought was quite good.

Foxtel would have to have the worst commentators, they are quite embarrassing.

Wildy ? Barracks, not commentates.

Bone? Screams half the time when anything remotely exciting happens.

Rex? What is he on about?
PAFC. Forever.

If only Jim Deane was still commentating (or in his special comments role), he was great.

LOL at Jim Deane. Dodgy enunciation, but good all the same. :)

Eddie McGuire at SEN gets my vote - if you're listening to him while you're at the game you realise how accurate he is - followed by Karl Langdon and Brian Taylor.

IMO - Rex Hunt and Clinton Grybas were the best duo ever..

Rex Hunt gets my vote, followed by the 6PR team in Perth... Robert Walls (ON RADIO) is not bad either.
