Just wondered about peoples' opinions of his commentary.

Obviously he won't please everyone, but I've always enjoyed listening to his calls. He always appears to be as impartial as possible, offering due credit to visiting teams, etc, and offers due criticism of the Eagles and Dockers.

Always gives a vibrant commentary, keeps it interesting without going over the top in painful fashion like Hudson etc.

I've often wondered why he has never been tried on television when many others who are nowhere as good have annoyed the hell out of me ... no offence Ox.
 
no doubt he's much better than the ox,but he wont get a go because he's not victorian the melbourne mafia won't let a foreigner into their select little group
 
i dont mind him, he's got a pretty good voice for it a reckon.

and like you said, he's pretty impartial.

but i doubt he'd get signed up on 7 or something since people over east wouldnt know much about him.
 
yep i reckon he's an awesome commentator - i would love to see him get a gig on tv

when sydney play in perth i'm always impressed with his knowledge on the swans and the way his commentary flows

i dont like listening to him on talkbalk radio, but when he is calling he is excellent

he has been asked a few times why he hasn't put his hand up for tv commentary and i think he just isn't interested

melb mafia wont let foreigners in?
strange statement that

mcavaney is from adelaide
commetti is from perth
dunstall is a queenslander
brayshaw is a west aussie who played sport for SA.
 
He is the most impartial former player that is now in the media around. I feel he always gives the Dockers a fair go on 6PR. Enjoy his commentary no matter who is playing.
I remember a kid calling after a game on talkback. He sounded like he was about 6 and when he asked his question, Karl told him to stop wasting people's time with a dumb question. It was sad, but very funny at the same time !
 
Langdon is a good comentator. He wouldn't be complete stranger to victorian audience since they probably get 6PR broadcast on 3AW quite often. Certainly impartial and gets pretty excited. Complete opposite to KG and Cornesy.

He and late Uncle Georgie G. were fantastic tandem. Sadly, his partners nowadays are pretty average at best [Zempilas last year and Readings this year]
