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.
3Matt Hill
Matt Hill is one of the world's most established horse racing callers, known for a distinct professionalism and a lethal accuracy.
He brought those traits to football calling in 2025, and quickly emerged as one of the best in the game, with fans quick to ask just what took so long to bring him across.
There is a gentlemanly quality to Hill's calling, bringing a dignity to the code. The rhythm to his cadence - a clear a nod to his racing background - is easy to follow. Bronze, in our ranking.
