Fox/Free to Air TV Commentators

Worst by a mile is McAvaney.....

Listen closely to how pretty well every time he makes a statement, he then asks a question. ie, It was a great kick....wasn't it? And now, he has started adding to his dribble after he has asked the question.

He used to be a great commentator when he was calling SANFL games in the early eighties. Then he became self-aware and that was all she wrote. Same thing has happened to Commetti who is now hugely overrated. Tries too hard the pair of them.

I know its not TV, but I still find the Triple M crew of Gary Lyon, James Brayshaw, BT and Spud Frawley the best to listen to by an absolute stretch. Thouroughly entertaining and very insightful. Hopefully if Ch 9 get the rights back we can have these guys on the TV together once again

I don't think the ABC boys on grandstand do a bad job of calling the game either.
Stan Alves says some pretty insightful stuff.

The best exponents of sports commentary are British soccer commentators. The standout feature of them is their fluency and strong grasp of the English language. With them there are no cliches or colloquialisms or talking about players like they're their best mates.

Some of our AFL TV commentators would improve dramatically if they took a trip to the UK to receive some instruction from these skilled media men.

Ever listened to Andy Gray or Jamie Redknapp...?

Yes but I was referring to the main commentators who control the broadcast not the 'expert' comments men.

[OnSong]

Some of the best I've heard are Phil Liggett and Martin Tyler for their respective sports.
Simon Hill is also not bad as a soccer voice.

Anthony Hudson calling the game yesterday

"And it goes out wide to Alice"

"Great mark by Cally"

Of course, he was referring to Xavier Ellis and James Kelly.

Geez lucky it wasn't Andy Maher commentating the "goime" then.....

the one thing that annoys me is Alistair Lynch and his Queensland accent, He always Say Ability. but he says it Abiltey. that Queensland lisp is so annoying

BT has moved over to 3AW, Rex Hunt is on Triple M this year. Doesn't have the same cohesion without Taylor in that line-up of Brayshaw and Lyon.

Is it lynch who also pronounces Brett or Brad's surname EEE-Bert, like e-mail or e-waste.

Hey X....... what about "arches his back" and "it's cooooming back".........McAvaney has totally lost it .

[sapaul]

"squeezes it"

Tim Lane, I believe, started believing his own reviews some time back and became a self-important oracle. Now I have to laugh when Mr Principle has to read those ridiculous sponsor names.

"Thanks to Seasol Liquid Garden Solutions...."
"And on the Stockdale & Leggo Scoreboard...."

i think BT is the best commentator in the game at the moment.

Cometti needs to shut up about that girly dress up wrestling.
