Thread: Is there a commentator people actually do like? - Page 2 - BigFooty

Re: Is there a commentator people actually do like? There's some you like, some you respect, some you tolerate, some you don't like and some you absolutely loathe. The ones I like - Callers - Cometti Lane (agree he's better suited to radio than TV) Taylor McGuire Brayshaw Christian Schwass Special comments - Hird Buckley Dunstall Matthews Pickering Watson Walls Darcy Richardson __________________...

Unfortunately i love Commetti (and Bucks and Sheehan pre-match) and i inevitably find myself winsing through the Hunt commentary. Its not just his ego-mania thats annoying its actually his commentary...

General commentary Dennis Cometti sets the bar as a TV commentator. He is the Richie Benaud of AFL. Calls and understands the game brilliantly, and knows when to use humour, and when not to. Bruce McAvaney is good with Cometti. They work well together. I really like Brian Taylor . I'd like to hear him call some TV games with Commetti. Anthony Hudson is ok, still improving. I don't mind Micheal Christian as a straight caller,...

Re: Is there a commentator people actually do like? I liked Clinton Grybas a lot too - and Drew Morphett when he was doing it. Dennis Cometti is the best of the current AFL commentators IMO. __________________ Jim Stynes is ALWAYS with us...

past: clinton grybas, peter landy current: Cometti

Re: Is there a commentator people actually do like? I like -BT Easily. Dont mind Rex,Huddo & Cometti.
