My Favourite Hunt Quote is "Goodbye" As a radio commentator he is useless if you're vaguely interested in the score, whether a goal has been scored, which team kicked it, who is winning, etc. If you want to hear a barrage of uninformed drivel, or are not actually interested in the game, Rex is your man. Carlton supporters have had Hex Runt twice in succession. Bring on Aunty next week PLEEEASE!
 
In Adelaide we dont get to hear rexy all that often.

Who the hell is 'Big man who travels by train"? I listened to 3/4 of a game the other day and couldnt even work out if he was talking about a player, an umpire or a co comentator.

Servo

big man who travels by train is Tony Leonard (of coodabeen champions fame)and one of Hunt's co commentators

Tony is a big man!!!

Regarding 3AW's commentary I personally love the coodabeens and don't mind 3AW's pre game waffle but as soon as the game starts I switch to 3LO - Hunt s#its me!
 
I personally enjoy Rex's commentary, and if I'm watching a game on TV and 5AA has the commentary running from 3AW I always tune in, rather than listen to the pathetic Channel 7 commentators.

I LOVE the fat lady, it's the highlight of the game!! As I don't hear it a lot, maybe it's a case of novelty value. Does he have nicknames for the Crow players?
 
I love Rex's commentary, and I agree, the Coodabeens are the best football talk show going around.

My favourite Rexism's are.....


1. The Fat Lady - ITS OOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEERRRRR

2. The mongrel-finger-breaking-up-country-punt - A term used to describe a poor kick.

3. The Giraffe kick - A High Kick

4. The Junior Giraffe Kick - A kick not quite as high

5. The Worm Burner - A low pass

6. And who could ever forget, the time honoured classic
YYYYYAAAABBBBBEERRRRLLLLEEEEETTTT!!!!
 
The 3AW footy team is by far the best to listen to. Not just because of Rex Hunt, but because of Robert Walls and Garry Lyon. They are fantastic special comments men, in comparison with Sam Newman, who does not take it seriously and Dermie who never shuts up despite his great knowledge of the game.
