Rex Hunt's best nicknames

[tesseract]

Son of a Tobin - Ashley Hansen.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I thought it was "the shaver". Probably wrong though.

Yeah it's the shaver

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Sean 'Dunnybrush' Denham (Geel/Ess)
Glenn 'Oysters' Kilpatrick (Ess/Geel)
Paul 'the Garbologist' Couch (Geel)
Cameron 'Rock' Ling

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Personally, I could not stand the man. I hated him calling Collingwood games because of the uncerainty of who he was referring to in a passage of play. I preferrered the 'Tobin Briothers' call.

 

[MadMac]

Orson Wells

 

[Jamie007]

B-R-O-W-N (Fraser Brown)

Pearce Off. (Brad Pearce)

The Droop. (Breuer from Geelong)

The Bolt ( Glen Manton)

The Dinosaur ( Harry Madden)

 

[CAS79]

. I preferrered the 'Tobin Briothers' call.

And at the time of his moving on AW so did many people. AW lost market share quickly and the blame was put squarely at his feet and the fact many people got over his nonsense that once rated so highly. People changed their dial and went looking for people calling games of football on the radio and went to a circus to hear a clown.

I'd never listen to Rex whenever he called the Eagles, purely because I wanted a serious call
Other games though, always used to love Big Rexanald on fire

Can the Rex haters make their own thread and not pollute this one please....

Yellow Brick Croad was my fave along with 'ring a ding ding' for peter bell & chrome motorbike for Harley

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

The Sticker - Wayne Schwass , but he got alot of complaints so he stopped using it.

Rex was awesome. He was the kerry O'keefe of football callers. And anything was better than those idiots on krock - or god forbid 5AA adelaide.

I don't really like the guy, but his commentating is unique.
Who is Kerry O'Keefe? I presume it's female.

[tonk]

single worst commentator to call sport. Just a dribbling egomaniac

Morning Ed.

 

[coleman10]

My personal favourites:

"The Date Hunter" aka John Worsfold
"The Cucumber" aka Guy McKenna

I remember a Bulldogs v Carlton game and he pulls out someting along the lines of "...and where is Grant? Oh, he's snuggled up in the pocket with B-R-O-W-N" Obviously referring to actor Hugh Grant and Divine Brown.

And who can forget his famous "I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-t-t-t-s-s-s-s O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-v-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-r!" Cry?

Pure Gold.

 

[coleman10]

Who is Kerry O'Keefe?

Are you serious?

Why am I not surprised a Richmond supporter had never heard of the LEGEND that is KO'K????

 

[Running Dog]

He used to refer to Jeff Farmer (when he played for Melbourne) as "the primary producer".
