Channel 7:
Friday Night:
Bruce McAvaney 3 - OK, he may have been good 10 to 15 years ago when Channel 7 originally had the AFL rights, but he's pretty poor these days. Cliche ridden and way too jizzworthy over certain players.
Dennis Cometti 7 - the one redeeming factor of Channel 7's commentary team these days. Still a pretty professional caller and isn't super cliche driven/doesn't engage in niggly aggro bullshit.
Leigh Matthews 6 - meh. Aussie Rules isn't the greatest sport for retired players to be calling the game, so as a special comments person he isn't really noticeable. Is generally fairly solid though, gives alright insights and doesn't really talk s**t.
Tom Harley 0 - AARRGGGHHH. Biggest suckhole in the Channel 7 box. Adds zero insights and just treads the line massively. I hope he chokes on his tofu.
Wayne Carey 5.5 - alright, I guess. But is a fan of stating the obvious. Over-rated.
Tim Watson 3 - very boring voice, and adds little. I guess though he's alright with the Auskick kids, particularly in comparison to Rompingwins.
Saturday Night:
Brian Taylor 0 - HYPERBOLE! MAXIMUM! BOY OH BOY WOWEE! AARRGGHHH. * OFF.
Luke Darcy 1 -

Yes Darcy, that's a 1. I don't love the way you go about it, in fact you're shithouse, as big of a suckhole as Tom Harley and has a bigger role than him. Get ****ed.
Matthew Richardson 5 - might be OK if he wasn't bouncing off BT and Darc all the time. Willing to give him a chance.
Cameron Ling 5 - anyone would look bad in the boundary rider role (that role should be reserved for eye candy) personally. Highly regarded assistant coach so shouldn't be a total idiot you'd think.
Sam Lane 1 - useless. Definition of tokenism I'm afraid, surely you could find a women who could actually be an OK commentator?
Saturday Afternoon:
Basil Zempilas 0 - could send even the biggest insomniac to sleep. Apparently only got the gig because he looked like Harry Connick Jr. Should just stick to being a cameraman, Channel 7 has screwed their coverage enough that he'll have minimal damage there.
Hamish McLachlan 0 - worse than Basil and that's saying something. I hope the dog driving the Karma Bus hits him on the way to work.
As for Fox Sports, I don't have a great opinion of most of them. They aren't the best on the ball commentators (they are retired footballers rather than professional commentators in fairness), but as analysts they're generally OK. A few are campaigners though.
Over to you, gentlemen.
