I don't think there will be any issue with ALL games having some form of media coverage...

Be it live radio coverage, TV, video stream, audio stream or in-house transmission, the League will ensure that all games are covered in some capacity...

I don't think time will be an issue, either, there is still 3-4 months before the season starts...

Hopefully a quality broadcaster will be returning to the SANFL media circle in 2016 so that will assist in making sure there are not just enough callers to cover games, but quality callers...

It is what the competition deserves...

Replacing some callers by the sounds, Phil?

Wouldn't have thought so, eartotheground...

Just an extra (quality) caller to add into the mix...

An extra 'quality' caller would not be hard . I'm not having a go at anyone however I find it very ordinary. It would be very difficult of course but the voice is obviously the instrument that needs to sound good. Not many good ones out there.

So you've said, for the 100th time...

Like I said not trying to offend anyone , I do hope we get some quality. All you have to do is look at the T20. It isn't rocket science.

are you saying you want ex footballers (or ex cricketers he says with a grin) calling matches ?

What's the problem with 'voices'?

I'm more interested in the quality of the call and we have several excellent callers, all passionate about the game.

The caller who frustrates me the most has the 'best' radio voice.

My all time great cricket caller was John Arlott. Have a listen if you can.

No. What I am saying is they add some excitement to it and are entertaining and good to listen to which adds to the game on TV.

The last thing SANFL broadcasts need are a bunch of Brian Taylor wannabes
