Next year, I've resolved to go on a few interstate footy trips, including down to Melbourne. At the game I like listening to radio commentary, but in Sydney (I'm a Swans fan & also go to a few GWS games) ABC Grandstand is the only option. I have heard there are several more options in Melbourne and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me into some of the choices of radio stations there are in Melbourne

For the actual call of the game SEN ,3AW and the ABC are all pretty good. 3AW has left the Rex Hunt theatrics behind and now call the games straight, a big improvement. SEN recruited Matt Grandland and Anthony Hudson to lead their calls and both are excellent. Apart from Drew Morphert, who should be put out to pasture, the ABC continue to do a great job. Triple M are an acquired taste. They chase the male under 30 , possibly members of the fanatics, market hard.If James Brayshaw"s boganish manner is your go you will be well catered for here.Pre game program's at the three am stations are all very good right across the weekend. SEN and 3AW"s talk fests are available for download on iTunes as podcasts, meaning the true footy head can listen to one and catch up on the other later.
 
I've always liked to mix it up over the weekend. I think SEN on friday nights can't be beaten with Huddo and Grandland, Triple m Saturday afternoon including the rub is brilliant, Saturday night is a tough one for me as it's usually the b teams, maybe ABC or Triple M, Sunday also mix it up between SEN/Triple M I guess it all depends on what games you want to listen to as sometimes you might have little choice.
