Huddo and Matty Granland, i love the way he's nicknamed 'Tonsils' by the SEN crew. Plus they both follow the Cats too.

BT for mine.
I used to be a Commetti fan, but he's become a caricature of himself. His wit should be an adjunct to the footy, not the other way around.

First person to vote for Robert Walls gets a bottle broken over their head.

Yeah, his wit has surpassed a good call, unfortunately

Dennis is the best, followed by daylight, then BT and Huddo. I also like Brayshaw, and I hate to admit it but I hate Eddie a lot less when he's on SEN than when he was on Nine!
Rex, Bruce and Oxy-moron are the bottom 3.

Commentary has been totally destroyed since Grybas' death but to choose anyway...the bristler.

Can't Believe Rex Hunt Is'nt winning in this poll.
ALL the TV commentators are trash in my books !
the amount of crap they speak is just unbelievable .... their opinions change about players in 5 minutes ( oh yeah , he's the most accurate in the league, then in 5 minutes , it'll be someone else ?? etc etc ) ..all this stat stuff is utterly rediculous (Dermie was the worst) - i think they're all bored or something or need to take some freakin A.D.D medication .
Rex Is, And should be voted the best commentator by anyone i reckon - not one person comes close to Rex and if it's live on tv ..then the tv volume go off , and rex goes on everytime.
how many of you lot have ever bothered listening to the number 1 footy radio station - 3aw 693 ...never mind that FM crap.

Karl Langdon is IMO one of the best commentators atm. No crap talk, just pure footy call. Also Smoky Dawson is fantastic.
What about Cornesy and KG on 5AA? They're a bit biased but otherwise not bad ;)

surely this is a typo - you couldnt be refering to macevaney. His best is years behing him.
Commetti has turned into a bit of a sideshow i am afraid. like most footy media seems to be enjoying his celebrity status a little too much.
As a whole the entire commerty standard is pretty poor IMO.

:thumbsu: Smoke is the best from the west. Probably the best on the airwaves. As an ex vic, is was a pleasure to move hear dreading the biased calls. However Smoke is really good. - Good call MM :thumbsu:

Clinton was the best by far, noone has come close.
Brian Taylor is rubbish so unless he significantly changed since he was commentating for 9 then I have no idea why people think he is the best. He would sit there and have a love fest over the Victorian teams and would say minimal about the interstate sides.

Commetti would be alright, if he wasn't blatantly rehearsed. I'm quite surprised he's winning this poll.
always right

With some of the appalling Friday night games we've had this year, Commetti has been a ray of light. Rehearsed or not, I love his calls and it helps offset the drivel from Bruce as he goes into raptures as well as the inane comments of Ox.
Rex Hunt = self opinionated, self indulgent crap

x2 ...agreed.
...and guys we only bag out Dennis for being 'rehearsed' is because he admitted he does that as part of his wit...
rehearsed or not...its about timing and Cometti is master of that!

Brian Taylor by that much it's not funny. The MMM boys need to do some better advertising and then everyone would be listening to them! ABC soooo lame! AND I'M SICK OF REX. The highest profile commentary box is definately that of MMM. Entertainment!
