Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:13 pmI reckon Karl Langdon is the best at present. He is sharp, concentrates on the game and is unbiased.
Rex Hunt indulges in too much banter.
The most irritating would have to be Graham 'Smokey' Dawson from 3AW.

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:26 pmANYONE but Rex. I like to listen to the footy, not some old ponce raving on. And I only like listening to the ABC broadcasts, cos the advertising SH!TS me.

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 10:33 pmRex Hunt is an ar5eclown. Stephen Rowe is even worse cos he tries so hard to be like Rex but somehow manages to be even more of a wank*r.

Spot on, he seems to be aware that he is the eyes of the listener and goes about giving an accurate call of the action, without personal biases entering into it. Plus he was a very good voice for radio, very crisp and easy to listen to.
I have no idea why people like Rex Hunt. Sure, if you want to laugh, he's the man, he's ridiculous. Personally though, if I want to laugh I'll watch one of my comedy dvds. Someone I work with who follows the Crows, and doesn't know an awful lot about other players, etc, was listening to Rex Hunt calling a game. She said not only didn't she have a clue who the players were (all the silly nicknames), but she didn't have a clue what was actually happening .. and surely that should be the priority of the radio broadcaster.
