Best: Dennis, Gerard, Drew Morphett. I enjoy listening to Grandstand

Worst: BT, Dwayne.

BT by far the worst, cannot stand him.
 
I always get pissed when Commetti brings out that "he is the definition of mediocrity" line or something like that when someone stuffs up. He's definitely my least favourite, more interested in thinking of something clever to say than properly commentating. But hey, I guess he appeals to most people.
 
I do like Gerard Whateley's commentary I prefer descriptive commentators rather than those giving opinions or just plain barracking for their team.

Luke Darcy is in my opinion the worst commentator on 7 or Fox followed closely by Dwayne Russell. Not sure who thought it a good idea to pay those men to talk about football, haven't heard a decent call of the play from Russell or any decent "special" comments from Darcy in all the years they've been in their positions.

McAvaney and Commetti are still a class act. Both can be irritating for various reasons, but when you've got a big game, big crowd, close scores, it's those two you want to hear. They're a cut above the rest.
 
Favourites: Pebbles Hudson, Cometti. Clinton Grybas was the best

Seems like many FTA/Fox broadcast matches have only one commentator and 2-3 'special comments' men. And I suppose to give the commentator a spell, and give the spec comments guys something to say - they actually miss calling many passages of play, while telling us who should have done what :eek:
 
Fav- the Friday night triple M team.
Worst- cant decide between Brain Taylor, Richo and Darcy
 
Favourite
The old Triple M 'A team' when BT and Sammy Newman were on.
Also Dennis Commetti

Worst
Darcy, Bruce, Dwayne Russell, Shaw, Lane, Blight, Walls, Dermie, Ricciutto
 
Eddie Mcguire gets a hard wrap for his Collingwood affiliation, he's one of my favourite callers. Tends to know more about the unknown players than most and has great tone.

My all time favourite was Clinton Grybas, class act, great voice and would probably be doing the channel 7 day games instead of Hamish (who by the way, is just... awful), him and Bazil Zempla are so devoid of any passion or spirit it makes the game boring on TV. I enjoy Drew Morphett, Brenton Yeates, Kim Dillon (off 5AA) and I think Eddie McGuire is better than most people give him credit for; loves the game, knows all the players and genuinely loves a contest.
 
Worst: Brian Taylor

I turned the St Kilda v GC game off earlier this year because of Big Boy, the Human Meatball and Boy oh boy, wowee!
 
Would love it if peter donegan was commentating the AFL on TV and not just the VFL.

Surprised at all the love for Huddo. He does annoy me when he gets too excited. THIRTEEEEEN, THIRTEEEEEN.

I dont care for too many commentators, but Basil is the worst by a country mile! The cockwart doesnt even know half the players names ffs! BT is just a silly man and Dermie is the uncle on Napoleon Dynamite who is stuck in 1982...
 
I dont mind the guy but Ling is starting to shit me. On and on and on and on about Geelong. So many slaps on the back, winks and the like with all his mates. He should just work fulltime for Geelong. BT is irritating as ants in the pants. WOWEEEEEEEEEEE. Darcy hasnt got a clue.
