Who's the best/worst commentators and which is the best foot

Best commentator by a mile in my book is Daicos and not for being a ex magpie legend, but for his calls.
Worst? You can't go past Walls for bad commentating, he should find something more useful to do with himself, a career as a speedbump would suite him I reckon.
Worst? Quartermain (dunno if thats how you spell it)

Channel 9 wins hands down.
After watching the game on Fox yesterday I was glad I didn't subscribe to pay TV for the footy, there coverage is very poor.

Yeah I thought yesterday's coverage was pretty average.

The camerawork was disgraceful and the commentary was very pro-Freo (made me long for one of Eddie's passionate calls again!)

I too think that Daics is the best commentator - I realise that he doesn't speak as well as some, but he is spot on with his calls and doesn't appear to show any bias.

I dislike the Foxtel commentators (Campbell and Bennett - they are both useless) and I don't like Quartermain or Dermie either (the former simply hates Collingwood and doesn't try to disguise it at all, whilst the latter's giggling gets on my nerves).

I agree with Daicos calling the games,Walls is trying but has a long way to go,and as far as TV is concerned I am afraid that here in Sydney,Ch10 wins hands down.
We got the FREO V PIES game replay at 1:30 this morning.At least we got the Swans game....what good that was....on Saturday night.
Ch9 is all NRL up here....cant miss out on their NRL,but STUFF the AFL

Have to agree,Ramjet - Dennis and his Commetti-isms are the best in the business.

Best commentator...Black_White of course!

Honourable mentions to BW Phantom and Northern Pie for the Melb game..(hope I got that right fellas!)

Peter (in the end) Daicos (in the end) needs to get a better grip on the english language (in the end) because (in the end) after evey sentence (in the end) he says "in the end".

Glad to have gotten a mention with legends such as Dics and Black_White. We had a lot of fun and we look forward to calling another game soon.

If your not bleeding Black and White, you don't truly support Collingwood!!!!!

Centa meeta purfect Commetti is by far the best caller, it is the only thing that channel 9 have got right in this bullshit deal of theirs.
Sorry, i cannot warm to Eddie's calls at all, have to turn the telly down when he is on.

FOX's coverage is by far the best, Sundays game for some reason was pretty ordinary, 10 are professionals, channel 9 is a joke.

Speaking of FOX..
They must have done a pretty good deal with 7 because it seems they are getting their hands on any old footage they want.
