Anthony hudson is as proffessional as they comeI can't help but notice that the commentators for the NBA, NFL and EPL are all professional, career commentators. There are precious few pro commentators when it comes to AFL, which is a great pity. Dennis was a world class pro and Bruce is clearly a professional (while at times annoying), but it is a struggle to find a pro after that. Ex players can make good comments presenters (Gerard Healy and Jonathon Brown are excellent), but it would be difficult to develop players into competent commentators unless they come from a broadcasting background. A professional commentator will never allow bias to show through and won't lower themselves to barrack - like Dwayne Russell, Eddie Maguire, Sean Darcy etc. often do. Perhaps Channel 7 and Fox should get Dennis to train and mentor the few current potential career commentators and then develop some others. That way they could get rid of Eddie, Dwayne, Sean and the like. I am sure that the long suffering AFL viewers deserve better.
