KG to call footy on Triple M

Expect an announcement in the next day or two that will see Ken "KG" Cunningham call AFL games for MMM in 2010.

He will finish up with 5AA all together by the end of the year and will only call Adelaide based games next year so he doesn't have to fly.

I think Russell Ebert will no longer be with 5AA anymore either, so will be interesting to see who they go with for Saturday mornings next year.

Great we a have to listen to this Grumpy Old Man in stereo now. Won't he just go away and retire.

More Anti Victorian bashing and praising how great the Adelaide Chardonnays & Port Bogans are.

Give me a break

GO AWAY AND RETIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My god Adelaide radio is boring. If we have to rehash someone given the flick elsewhere, at the age of 70 it smacks that we've got no up and coming sportscasters with any personality OR Adelaide radio stations are too careful in giving someone else a go.

oi give it up gadj... the man in my opinion is an SA icon and does deserve some respect for what he has done for sport in this state.. and for **** sake, the bloke's 70 and i reckon has always been way too humble (again a trait that is going by the way side)... it's all me, me, me, I, I, I.. these days :?

fair enough LC, but like most things in Adelaide, he's had his day... move on.

Well, another reason not to listen to MMM - my god, good old KG - his last four years of calling have been terrible. God love the man for his passion b.b.b.b.b.b.b.ut I I I I I j.j.j.j.j.j.ust c.c.c.c.c.c.can't put up with his c.c.c.c.calling.

Wilde and Rowie do a good call, Bone talks WAY too much as a special comments man - although his comments are good, just don't talk over the callers ALL the time.

Dead right though - there doesn't appear to be another team around that can provide some good calling - what to do...what to do....?

I enjoy listening to McDermott & Wildy working together. Reckon they combine well.

Has anyone heard if and when Chris Dittmar is returning?

LOL some great flashbacks there...

KG: B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Studley!
Cornesy: And what has Norwood done since the War. No, he's pointed they've won more flags than the Bays have in their existence in that time I've had to dump him....
Russell Ebert: Blah Port Blah Port Blah Port Blah Port Blah Blah
Ditmar: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
McDermott: DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
Rowey: Yap Yap Yap Yap Yap Yap Yap

Yeah a real talent pool there.
