Yet the AFL keep employing blokes like Hall despite them having bricks for brains. If the AFL actually sought out the best commentary team and helped develop their abilities the game would be instantly more watchable. I think my interest in watching opposition games has waned due to the commentary more than anything.
As stupid as it sounds, we really should look at how WWE approach commentary - have the play by play and colour commentators as well as investing in developing and training newer commentators. Reward blokes who are actually good at their jobs (ability to commentate, knowledge on teams etc) and stop giving jobs to ex players just because they're ex players.
