Sports commentary is a tough gig. It requires a blend of knowledge and personality to ascend to the country's elite in any code - and no code has more moving parts than Australian rules football.
As the footy public has seen in recent days, however, it's a ruthless gig too. A veteran of the game, and member of this top ten, has found himself out of a calling chair, as one broadcaster looks to go in a different direction.
Who are some some of those who've become beloved staples in our weekend watching and listening routines? And what are their greatest strengths?
We cast our verdict as to the ten best callers covering the great game.
9Hamish McLachlan
A Channel Seven veteran, Hamish McLachlan is a jack of all trades for the network. His interviewing skills are evident on his 'Unfiltered' program, and he has been entrusted with hosting duties for major sporting events and television programs for the better part of two decades.
McLachlan's dulcet tones are a familiar fixture in the calling landscape. After an apprenticeship, of sorts, under the Australia's most revered caller in Bruce McAvaney, McLachlan has built a portfolio of 18 years worth of memorable moments with the network, and is most worthy of a nod in this ranking.
