Triple MMM Calls

[Lady Lawrence]

does anyone else listen to Champs and co calling the game when at the Gabba? And if you don't I highly reccomend you get yourself tuned in.

Without these guys last night I think I would have gone insane. Was the funniest call I have heard since fly kept going an about Mals thighs.

Examples of names they call for Beau, the galloping coatrack and the galliano bottle.

The commentary on centrelink payments and how much flights cost to Brisbane from Melbourne and then pointing out that Joffa has made the trip - priceless!!

Triple MMM?

Yeah that does seem like a lot of Ms...just at a guess I reckon you could cut 6 of them and still have enough.

Although they did not cover the Collingwood game due to the Dreamtime at the G game, I usually listen to the NIRS call on 98.9fm.

These guys seem to have a great time calling the games, with the insight of Darryl White being great.

mmmmmmmmm Whitey! (Homer style)

It was the first time that i have heard the Brisbane MMM call the football and yes, i thought they were quite funny without being pretentious like a few of the other callers on other stations. I never knew that Richard Champion had such a good sense of humour. Who are the other guys? I didnt catch any of their names. And why were they calling Beau the Galliano bottle?

Gilbert McAdam is a handy addition to their list on 98.9.

Pricey & Champs are the callers, they used to have Craig Macrae too who was hysterical.

Michael Price
A football loving Carlton fan, living in Queensland and every weekend surrounded by ex-Lions players calling Brisbane games. Pricey is a either completely insane or very brave. But having lived in Brissy for 30 years, Pricey undeniably now has maroon running through his veins. His first footy experience in a rugby dominated State was having his Sherrin confiscated by a teacher who didn't approve of that 'Southern sport'. He was promptly withdrawn from this educational facility by his annoyed parents and sent to a 'real footy playing' school. Pricey has the distinction of playing for Mayne, the same club that spawned many years later a kid named Jason Akermanis. He was captain of the Under 19's and represented Queensland in schoolboy football before injury, lack of pace and skill ended his football dreams. Radio was his calling, and Pricey unleashed his verbal talents on the Brisbane folk through 4BH, 4BC, B105 and Triple M. Sports reporting, program producing, newsreading, an announcer rated number 1 from 2002 to 2004 - and now calling footy for Triple M Brisbane.

and Champs
After a 10 year career at Brisbane for a total of 183 games, Champs retired at the end of 2000. This sturdy and reliable defender worked incessantly on his skills and became one of the best full-backs in the AFL. That's the Champs way - work hard, be professional and create great team spirit, and thus during his playing days he was awarded Best Clubman, Most Professional Player and life membership honours. Champs has embraced life after football by juggling roles as a travelling reporter for Channel 7's Queensland Weekender and Great South East, an ambassador and Public Relations officer for AFL Queensland and appearances on the speaker's circuit. The versatility of the man was further showcased when Champs sang up a storm on Channel 7's It Takes Two series, and made it to the final 5. As chief commentator for Triple M Football, Champs is ready to call all the footy action in 2007.

I think the name galliano bottle comes from Beau's tall skinny appearance, same as the galloping coatrack etc.

I used to listen to NIRS all the time but find the entertainent factor on the mm's more enjoyable, the NIRS is more technical (for want of a better word).

Thank you very much for that detailed summary. I actually didnt recognise Champs voice calling the game - thought he was doing special comments. There you go.
