Booney wrote:Media figure and former Richmond star Nathan Brown delved into rare territory when he put forward a list of former footy stars — in commentary, radio, digital, newspapers and podcasts — and their estimated salaries.

Equal 10: Wayne Carey, $500,000
Triple M, Channel 7 and The Age

An astute special comments man and one of the greatest to ever play the game, Carey offers up solid insights on Channel 7 every Friday night.

Equal 10: Jason Dunstall, $500,000
Fox Footy and Triple M

Affectionately referred to as Chief, the Hawks legend is becoming a fan favourite showing his wit and softer side across Bounce, radio and Instagram.

9: Nick Riewoldt, $550,000
Fox Footy and other media

Saints champion has made a seamless transition to the commentary chair and is also cooking up a bigger profile via an upcoming stint on Celebrity MasterChef.

8: Matthew Lloyd, $600,000
Channel 9, 3AW and AFL website

A multi-talented performer across various platforms, the Bombers great isn’t afraid to go hard and call it as he sees it.

7: Brian Taylor, $650,000
Channel 7 and Triple M

Now considered Channel 7’s chief commentator without Bruce McAvaney beside him, BT continues to hit the mark for many viewers

6: Tim Watson, $675,000

SEN and Channel 7

The Essendon legend joins Garry Lyon each morning for their SEN breakfast show and is also a staple Seven News fixture.

5: James Brayshaw, $1 million
Channel 7 and Triple M

One of the most colourful callers on television, Brayshaw can do it all across cricket and footy, TV and radio.

4: Mark Howard, $1.05 million
Fox Sports (footy and cricket), Triple M and Howie Games podcast

A versatile cricket and footy commentator who has also made a big impression in the podcast world with his top-rating interview series, Howie Games.

3: Garry Lyon, $1.15 million
SEN and Fox Footy

One of the most polished performers, Lyon was always destined to work in media across television and radio.

2: Brendan Fevola, $1.2 million
Fox FM

A much-loved character on the field, Fev clearly has a big fan base in retirement with this top-rating radio gig over the past six years.

1: Jonathan Brown, $1.5 million
Nova and Fox Footy

Regarded as one of the great blokes in the industry, it’s no surprise the Lions legend is getting bang for his buck.

That was a piss take he did a few weeks back on triple m's Friday night huddle. Also did it a couple of months ago

Watson : Excellent work but the Gold Coast defence pushing up at Richmonds mids

Leppitsch : That push creates pressure and Richmond are feeling it, mistakes are coming from it

Darcy : LOOK SOMEONE JUST HANDBALLED!!

Speaking of Aussie commentators who are now in the US, did any of you listen to the Aussie bloke commentating the US Open Golf? I thought it was Russell Coight commentating.

I dont mind Bennett. Better than the majority on our airwaves.

As far as i'm aware he never played A/VFL. Maybe you're thinking of Darren Bennett? Ex Melbourne player turned NFL punter.

I am literally shocked some people don't like Bennett, he along with Speed are my two favourite Channel 7 callers

The other options are

BT :YMSICK:
Luke Darcy :YMSICK:
Hamish :YMSICK:
Basil :YMSICK:
Brayshaw :YMSICK:

along with the sidekicks "Richo" Carey Zavier Ellis (wtf) Welshy

etc

Not sure where he’s from but he called AFL back in the mid 2000’s for Fox Footy IIRC then went to the US for ESPN doing the “Aussie Abroad” documentaries. Came back a few years ago calling the VFL, AFLW & has got himself back in with ch 7.

Ah ha! Brenton Speed, now you’re talking. He is the best IMO. Pity we don’t hear him enough with all his other commitments.
Huddo is a good caller too.

I'm not sure of what her name is and I didn't hear a word that she said but the chick that was the boundary rider from last night seemed like a great commentator.
