Jim Deane was good - dodgy enunciation but somehow good to listen to and a good judge. Mick Clingly, Jim Slaven and David Christie were also good round-the-grounders for the ABC.
Also on the ABC, Malcolm McDonald had a smooth style.
Rod McLeod and Brian Lees was a classic combination in the late 70's halcyon of 5AD.
In the real old days, I believe Blair Schwartz was highly rated.

Didn't know they were brothers.
Gordon Schwartz is one of the greatest sporting journalists SA has ever had.

Gordon was fantastic with the Grade cricket scene as well, always had a keen interest and I spoke with him on many occasions. One thing I never asked him was if he played league footy. There's a Gordon Schwartz who played for Norwood and West Torrens in the 1940s and I've often wondered if it may be him.

Wow, what an event! Blokes like Gordon Schwartz and Bob Hank are, truly, from a bygone era.
