I used to think that KG was the best radio caller on the SANFL, yet 5AA have much less a focus on the SANFL these days in preference to the AFL, so the gap is picked up by smaller stations that are not so popular as 5AA. With that in mind, who do you think is the best SANFL Caller?

My preference for station is 5RPH because I think they do the best job of promoting the SANFL, yet I do think that Doug Oakley of LifeFM is the best caller, - tone, description of the game, passion, it is all there and I think that the package that he puts together puts him in front of the rest.

It would be interesting to hear Doug Oakley call a Power - Crows game, I think that he might well stitch up a few of the popular AFL commentators!

When I saw the title of this thread I thought Doug Oakley!

I reckon Doug Oakley is good commentator and don't mind the guys on rph

Anthony Tucker when he gets to call on 5aa when the cover the sanfl.. other than that i too, reckon CK and the RPH guys are right on the money.

Doug Oakley ...............................daylight.

Phil H!

I'll be boring and agree.. Doug Oakley

sorry will probably be the only one to say this but wildy and bones, (ok not often) do a sanfl games. Its entertaining and i think thats what you need when listening on the radio.

I've seen Total SANFL a number of times, and heard all of the stations that call SANFL, and agree CK does a fantastic job. He seems to be aligned with RPH, but you wouldn't know - you never hear him on there apart from tiny cameos - just the same names every week doing the same shows!! For someone who clearly knows his stuff and comes across very well on air, they don't seem to use him hardly at all. Another station could do a lot worse then to snap him up and give him more of a go.

Phil H, before going to South.

David Wildy is the one I would have liked to hear do more SANFL games

Jon Symonds

Doug Ray Ban certainly has a great voice for radio

anyone but that tool from rph whose name escapes me at the mo and its not phil h,smith or ck, the other clown

Wildy is OK but Bones?? Spends more time screaming and supporting like hes on the Hill watching rather than giving special comments.

Phil Herden

cornesy!!!!!!!!!!!

loved it when 5aa do the grand final, they deserve it after all the time they give the SANFL on the drive time show and other sports shows they have.

I don't know who the best is - but I'd have to say the worst is Peter Walsh.

WALLY MAY (COMMENT), PETER MARKER, IAN DAY, BRUCE MCAVANEY, GERRY HARRISON, IAN AITKEN THERE IS SOME FROM YESTERYEAR

PRESENT DAY I LIKE MOST OF THEM AS THEY HAVE THERE OWN FLAIR THE ONE THAT DOES IRRITATE ME BECAUSE WE GET THE SAME JOKES WEEK IN WEEK OUT (I KNOW AT LEAST HE IS TRYING) IS PAUL BLANDIS

I THINK MOUSE IS GREAT DOING SPECIAL COMMENTS AS IS GALLAGHER FROM NORWOOD

YOU'D MEAN DENNIS BROWNE I THINK ?

I QUITE LIKE HIM (YES I KNOW HIM BUT THATS NOT THE REASON I LIKE HIS COMMENTARY)

no, DB is an absolute lege! he would be my favourite, the other guy on rph - he's bloody hopeless, he will call it a goal and the bloody thing will be out on the full,but i cant remember his bloody name
