With calling teams for each broadcaster well established as the season begins anew, we've cast an eye over the current crop of those occupying the special comments chair.

There are some very familiar names, who've dominated the space for considerable amounts of time, and some fresh and exciting newcomers, too.

This pocket rocket seamlessly transitioned from an All-Australian AFLW career into a media career. McCarthy blends an approachable delivery with a comprehensive knowledge of current tactical trends, and a conviction when discussing the game's big issues.

McCarthy's star will only continue to rise with more time behind the proverbial wheel, but there's enough credits in the bank to land her a spot in our ranking.
