Couldn't agree more. I would rather listen to the blokes who didn't play at the highest level than most of the blokes who did.

How Annoying is Huddo???????

Who cares if he did or didn't play. Having said that, would prefer commentators who haven't played going on the majority of ordinary commentators who did.
Eh, Huddo's ok. He's smart enough and speaks well, which obviously can't be said for many passed players, or Robbo. However, his 'excitement' comes across as a little contrived, not that he's alone there.
Also, I know he was a lot younger when this happened, but I just can't forget what he did when he left 3aw, which was organize, edit and host his own 1-hour tribute to himself.
Ya shoulda heard it! Crikey! He 'enjoyed' talking about himself, how his main influence was Tim lane; and the rest of it was almost like: "this next highlight of my awesome commentary is one of my favourites....." Hookesy hung shit on him the next day, saying to Gerard: "er, um, did you think it was a bit odd that he did that? Would you do something like that?"

Basil and Hamish are even worse.
Symbolic of 7's shithouse coverage.

Cannot see why anyone would be anti-Hudson. he is the best around at the moment. Calls the game as it is. More should follow suit.
Please, just jump now.
Huddo is the best in the game as long as you know what AFL is. /thread.
Sorry to re-open this thread (assuming "/thread" means there is no need for anyone to post any more?).
But cheers mate, you are right. I didn't know what AFL was but now i've googled it, my opinion has definitely changed.
Huddo all the way.

He is good on the telly but his calling style doesnt work on radio
tries too hard to say something clever or memorable and forgets to describe the action
as for TV show hosts...all afl tv is terrible i dont waste my time with it

During Foxtel's preview of the Sydney vs Collingwood game last night, they did a live cross to Hudson and Dermie standing out in the middle of ground at ANZ Stadium. Hudson started babbling on with the usual inanities in that annoying voice of his. Dermie stood there patiently, waiting for Huddo to finish his spiel so he could have his turn at the microphone and talk tactics and ground conditions
But Hudson just went on and on and on and on and on and on and on....
You could see Dermie's frustration growing. Two or three times, he thought Hudson had finished and went to speak only to be shut out by Hudson going a million miles a minute. You could hear the muffled laughter from Dunstall and the others back in the Foxtel studio.
I'm not sure if Hudson was on the gear, or did it for a bet, or to wind up Dermie. Serious lack of awareness and social skills if he was serious. You probably had to see it to appreciate it, but it was bloody funny. 2 guys in love with the sound of their own voice, but one of them denied.

^ Ah yeah, hosts who ramble on. Tim Lane is another one. At the start of 3aw pre-games, he waffles on for about 3 min before he lets anyone else speak. All he needs to say is who he is, who's with him, and where they are.

It's annoying watching him overcompensate for his obvious lack of interest in the game.

Huddo is the biggest phony in the game.

Can't see what the hatred from some is about. I reckon he is the best going around at the moment, along with DC.
He calls the game accurately, without bias and he doesn't get sidetracked talking crap like so many of the TV commentators do nowadays!

is it written in Huddos contract that he must include an exert from the winning teams song in his final siren rant? does it all the time and it sounds lame.

Surely Huddo is to be commended by all for limiting the amount of Dermie-drivel?
Jee, what a coincidence that he called the last few seconds of the GF! It must be in his contract

He looks like an oversized Pez dispenser.

I like him as a commentator, probably my favourite commentator in the AFL
