Brownlow Medallist
ridiculous how kissed on the dick some of the former boys club from the AFL are whilst genuine non former player specialist commentators/analysts get left to the radio etc.
Ling was pure trash, Carey is just a genuine violent womanising piece of s**t, Holmes is garbage and just got in with them all through legends match.
Probably only matthews and Richo from any of the ex players are quality

Channel 9 must still be kicking themselves for not getting the Grand Final included in their AFL portfolio when they won the TV rights along with Foxtel and Channel 10 in 2001. Instead Ten got the Grand Final from 2002-06. Imagine how Nine would've done the Grand Final telecasts over this period if they had the opportunity to do so.
A Nine Grand Final commentary team would looked like this:
HOST: Ken Sutcliffe
COMMENTATORS (Play-by-play): Brian Taylor, Dennis Cometti
(Special Comments): Dermott Brereton, Garry Lyon
BOUNDARY REPORTS: Tony Jones, Dr Peter Larkins

- Sep 7, 2009
- 5,932
- 6,048
- AFL Club
- Collingwood
- Other Teams
- Real Madrid, Man City, GS Warriors
Nine got a raw deal when they won the AFL rights from 2002-2006. No finals matches and just Friday Night Footy and Sunday Footy they aired.
They should've got at least 2003 and 2005 with Ten airing 2002, 2004 and 2006
You can imagine the late Kerry Packer's reaction when he was told that Nine didn't get the finals as well as the Grand Finals from 2002-06 and was instead handed to Channel 10. The only big events that Channel 9 had was the Brownlow Medal which they televised in 2003 and 2005. My guess is that Nine's commitment to the NRL prevented them from getting the AFL finals.
Chicken Parma
Team Captain
Ken Sutcliffe would not have hosted... he'd have been seen as "too Sydney"
Also, Dwayne Russell was ahead of BT on Nine's pecking order at the time.
Here's my guess as to how a Nine GF commentary team would have looked (assuming Tim Lane left Nine like he did IRL):
HOST: Eddie McGuire
PLAY-BY-PLAY: Eddie McGuire and Dennis Cometti
SPECIAL COMMENTS: Dermott Brereton and Garry Lyon
BOUNDARY RIDERS: Tony Jones and Michael Roberts
MEDICAL REPORTS: Dr Peter Larkins
Although if Collingwood had made a GF which Nine had the rights to, Dwayne would have done PBP with Cometti, and either Lyon or Brereton would have hosted.
Ken Sutcliffe would've had to host the AFL Grand Final seeing this was a major network event and Nine had to have its number 1 sports host to welcome viewers throughout Australia on the Nine/WIN Networks and overseas countries taking the live telecast of the AFL Grand Final.
