Interesting thread. Some other that come to mind would be:
Geoff Leek, Doug Bigelow, Clark Hansen, Peter Gee, Drew Morphett, Graham "Smokey" Dawson, Ian Major, Harry Beitzel, Bob Skilton, Lou Richards, Terry Wheeler, Malcolm Blight, Ian Robertson, Matthew Campbell, Sandy Roberts, Peter Donegan, Craig Hutchinosn, Clinton Grybas, Sam Kekovich, Dwayne Russel, Don Hyde, Paul Salmon, Stephen Quartmaine. Anyway the list could go on. There's been many TV and radio stations covering VFL/ AFL over the years.
