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.
2James Brayshaw
Sure to be a divisive inclusion, Brayshaw boasts two distinct styles.
On radio, he offers a humorous everyman approach to an unfolding match, that has seen him build a cult following. 'JB' does not mind straining the vocal cords for the public's enjoyment, and is loved because of it.
On television, a more refined approach is taken, occasionally to his detriment, but Brayshaw is still strong, with his call of Jamie Elliott's after-the-siren goal against Essendon is 2022, sure to live long in the memory.
UNBELIEVABLE 🤯
