Drew Banfield is quite possibly the worst boundary rider ever....

Be fair on the bloke. It's probably the first real job he's had in his life. It's not as if he could make Foxtel's coverage any worse...

I actually know Drew banfield from where I work and he just seems to me a fairly quite guy, not really the conversationalist. But thats beside the point.


Someone on here said it after round 1, "there are some people made for tv commentary, and there are some people who arent, drew banfield is one of those people that cant". Tough but fair comment.


I honestly think if he keeps up this effort he wont keep the job for long.

the thing is with a boundary rider i believe you have to show some sort of charisma and its clear banfield lacks that. Every time the camera zooms into him he regurigtates the same stuff. He reads half of the stuff he says and listening to him is like listening to an old man.

there is no comparison when it comes to the likes of banfield with other riders such as: tiff cherry, malthouse, robert dipperdimenico, andy maher to name just a few.

Does anyone have any footage or even pictures of this man in the role?
