    Favourite Commentator

    Who is your favourite caller?

    I've selected a few that come to mind. To be eligible they must have called a game in season 2007.

    For me it's the Bristle Man by a long way.

    I love footy on MMM. I've been listening to it since it started back in the mid 90s.

    Couldn't stand Rex Hunt on 3AW.

    I don't mind Huddo or Quarters either.

    used to think bruce was good but he has lost it i reckon. Huddo is prolly the best on tv.

    I think Stan Alves is good for special comments on the radio, but we dont get many of the radio broadcasts here
    Theres not much left to say

    I used to enjoy Tim Lane and Dwayne Russell as a commentary team on ABC Radio a few years back - they generally combined well, but can't say they're my favourite TV callers - Dwayne gets caught up trying to be a poor man's Dennis (though his banter with Dermie when they were on 9 was alright), while Lane's calls are a bit dull

    I loved the MMM Sydney guys when they first started in 2005 - often laughed out loud - but they haven't been the same this year somehow (usually listen to 'em at home games), though there are still a few laughs.

    Dennis probably gets the nod by default, there aren't too many great callers going around these days.

    Stan Alves is the best special comments guy going around, Dermie was also pretty good.

    It's Clinton for mine, absolutely love the bloke. Whether commentating or hosting on fox, I think he's very fair, unbiased and easy to listen to.

    ABC local radio commentary, the others are just second rate.
    I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!

    On telly, Dennis easily, but I'm a big fan of Gerard Whateley and the rest of the ABC radio team in Melbourne.

    BTW, KB is the worst.
