Either way ...I think most would agree that with each passing season the premature loss of Clinton Grybas grows ever larger.... :shh

Kellie Underwood is the worst commentator of any sport in the world bar none

She’s horrendous
Yep have to agree, she is putrid.

I was close to turning the volume down.

Tries to hard for magical quotes

"Riewoldt has springs in his knees...as he soars into the Gold Coast sky". FMD you can't escape poo commentators. Give me Jim Brayshaw calling the action solo over the rest of these clowns.

Best commentator by a mile is Speed. :shh :shh

Certainly one of the best. Best NRL caller by a very long way

I like Jason Bennett, pity ch7 doesn't use him more.

Eddie strictly as a play-by-play commentator easily.... :shh

...and at least Bruce was good once....(although he was always slightly annoying) :shh :shh

Eddie screams at the game, it’s nauseating to listen.
Bruce .... I’m not sure, has senility well and truly set in. I can barely make out what he’s trying to say at times.
I agree on Grybus. He was very good. Commentating has become like Hollywood acting. Once you have that contract, the network is stuck with you.

Not a truer word said about sports commentary in Australia. Clinton Grybas was a gun and clearly on his way to being regarded the best commentator in the nation.

I don’t want to see Graham leave this club. What he has brought to the table this last month has gone a long way to us winning some of these games

Not sure they can, not because they don't want to but because HQ & THE AFLPA are negotiating around revising the current CBA around list sizes and salary cap

Think a lot of clubs need that detail to some deals

Re: commentators.

For me James brayshaw on triple M is by far my favourite. Going nuts with the nicknames and the emotion he puts in.

On TV Denis commeti. He had the agility to called the game with no delay (unlike Basil) and had some absolute pearler one liners without trying too hard.

Least favourite would be Anthony Hudson and Robert walls by a country mile

Huddo is probably the best behind JB. Cometti was good for a long time but was a borderline meme towards the end. He & Bruce...Geez. Funnily enough I don't mind Bruce if he's just calling the play, it's just too many "specials", rhetorical questions and terrible views when he actually tries to make observations. Great caller for athletics though

well after todays developments i think there may be a spot for Graham .

if the reports are true, i would make it a priority to trade CCJ to crows for a future pick and Stack to Freo.
