John Casey called NRL and AFL for Fox

Regularly for a season or two a fairly long while ago I remember. He also called a lot boxing on fox. Funny thing is, I didn't rate him as a caller but thought he was an ok aussie rules caller.

And NBL

And boxing.

Did he ever call NRL? Can't recall him doing so. If so Amy idea when?

I know he did, couldn't tell you when he started or finished to be honest, it's too long ago for an old dude like me to remember well enough...lol! He's the first guy who came to my mind and another member posted his name here, I just replied, we could both be wrong but I highly doubt it.

I'm looking online, not finding anything linking him to nrl, you could be right. Maybe I just figured he called nrl because he was based in Sydney!

He called the first South Sydney win they had 2003 upon reinstatement against Canberra

Great knowledge.

Dunno about the prelim but Hadley called the 96 GF on 2UE.

He definitely did.

There was lots of ‘Essendon gets it, they kick it long where it’s marked by the Swans. Handballs it as they move the ball up the ground…..Lockett!!!!’

Clearly the only player he knew.

A few names to add to this list.

Jimmy Smith and Brett Kimmorley from SEN NSW are calling the Sydney v GWS game this weekend. About the equivalent of Dwayne Russell and David King calling a NRL game.

for the AFLW GF so assume he called it but was watching on TV so didn't listen. Braybrook is a long time NRL caller with Fox and on radio.

His father Denis was a top rugby league referee in the 70’s and 80’s.

The late Fordham from Qld did from memory.

I could've sworn I read David Fordham has called both codes.

Big Daryl eastlake ? Think I’m basing this on the old 12th man pisstakes though

 

[mikey127]

Don't know if he has called a regular season AFL games but Chris Coleman calls the Raiders NRL games and did an AFL pre season game between the Swans and Lions last year, reckon he was a regular NEAFL caller.
