Any reason why Fox couldn't just have teams of callers in each of the various states; at least it would provide something fresh and we wouldn't have to put up with the same boring commentators game after game from Dwayne, Dermie, Kelly Underwood, King etc.
Occasionally you hear the likes of Adam Papalia over in the west and a few others and they are good callers who just call the bloody games without the theatrics, barracking and benign drivel the others are known for. At least you have people at the ground and if Fox want there pre and post shows, they can still do it from the Vic studio.
They want guys like Huddo and Dwayne calling. That's what they consider to be their best callers.
I think it's also the crew off camera as well.
I agree that appears to be the easy fix. In the end if it doesn't cost them viewers they don't really care.
