Huddo is the best AFL commentator. Great knowledge, no bias, keeps up with the play. His tone matches the context of the game - he is calm when he needs to be, and excited when there is a key passage of play. He speaks well, doesn't drag out his words and doesn't have any other annoying habits.
I saw the Bulldogs vs WCE match and the difference between Huddo and Tim Lane was stark. Lane was totally underwhelming in the final minutes, particularly his call of Dean Cox's mark in the forward line.

This is why I appreciate Huddo. His commentary is straight-forward and aligns well with both my own experience of watching the game and what I expect to hear from a commentator. Big fan.
+1 for Huddo.
He has also perfected the skill of subtly taking the p*ss out of Walls and Blight when they either a) start to fly off the handle when their team is losing and/or b) make dated and incorrect statements about what is happening on the field.

Think he does a good job, considering the other dildos in the commentary box with him. I love it when Howie cracks a joke about him, Huddo hates it!

Huddo is the best of the best. Calls the game as he sees it without any silly one-liners or jokes that distract you from play.
He looks like a 13 year old smartass though

We've all got annoying habits, but to say he hasn't is rubbish. He yells ALL THE TIME. Does he realise he has a microphone ?
Apart from that he is pretty good but he just strikes me as someone who is trying too hard to come up with quotes that will be remembered in folklore. That whole "I see it but I don't believe it" and "it's a draw, it's another draw" reeks to me of tryhard. Footyhead nailed it when he said that he seems a bit manufactured. I get that impression.

Yeah he's one of the best.
Only good thing going for channel 10.

Best commentator in the game. Even when Geelong is on the losing end he manages to make the call memorable.

I must be in the minority as I hate his guts. His faux excitement is nauseating.

He is very good!
Ch7 should have picked him up instead of hammer

I would say you are in a group with yourself.
If there were more commentators like Hudson, I'd start turning up the volume. He's a good commentator ... a rare breed.

The best commentator in the business by far.
I shall always remember his call of the 2008 Grand Final. His team was going down, but you'd never have guessed it, and all he did was lavish praise on the winners. A true professional. As I said before, pity there's so few of them.

I never used to rate Hudson particularly highly.
but in the background of hammers and dwaynes ineptitude and Bruce and bt's insistence on making spectacles of themselves, huddo just looks a quality professional.
I think people will have mixed feelings on Eddie, but huddo and Eddie is a good team to listen to. (listening to Eddie describe dwayne as on of the best callers in the game 2 weeks earlier was not a highlight...)
