Bruce McAvaney hangs up the mic

Saturday Night Footy is going to sound good on mute this year, it’s very sad seeing how Channel 7 have completely destroyed FTA coverage since taking over in 2012.

Well… it’s good incentive for me to go to games in person, cause I don’t wanna listen to any of those guys.

National Indigenous Radio service calls games, and they are bloody good to listen to.

Cmon, we all know Other represents Basil “Da fking Lord Mayor of P-Town” Zempilas.

I actually like BT & JB on the radio.
There I said it…

I really rate Sarah Jones as a presenter, if channel 7 could work something out there???

it’s alright, after the first few rounds we shouldn’t get any more prime time games.

Looking forward to Dwanye & Browny of Sunday afternoon.

Many here seemed to have loved his commentary. He may have been good in his early days but I’ve found him to be the Kevin Rudd of the football world - thinking he’s the smartest person in the room. His waxing lyrical and unadulterated verbal diarrhoea during play left me with only one thought. “Shut up Bruce, you tossbag.”

Yeah, but when the other people in the room are BT, Hamish and Brayshaw he kind of is…

Luke Darcy, Matthew Richardson and James Brayshaw is the worst commentary line up of all time.

What about HAMISH & BAZ

Touché

Hands down the worst.

If there were a Spanish language option I’d prefer it to those two.

l don’t mind Richo, he limits his comments to observations and tactics, rather than calling the action, and he is usually insightful.

Hard agree. Plus he’s honest and not full of himself.

Yep another +1 for Richo. The other thing I like about him is he doesn’t get caught up in hysteria about sacking / dropping / suspending people etc. He refuses to play that game and I like that

The thing I would love most is to have crowd noise and no commentary.

Hmm disagree, he is a Richmond duffle coat wearer who can’t hide his bias and states the obvious.

Sad news. Top bloke and best sports commentator in the land.

Not many good footy commentators left.

Can’t stand Dwayne Russell, luke Darcy, james brayshaw
