James Brayshaw (aka. JB)

JB began his sporting career as a professional cricketer for WA and South Australia. Doing sports reports on Adelaide radio led JB to a permanent role as a breakfast co-host on SA FM. As JB's media repertoire expanded, so did his love of commentary. JB was a host of the Sydney Olympics and the 2001 Ashes Tour of England for the Seven Network. In 2002 he was quickly snapped up by Triple M Footy to be a principal footy caller. In his spare time JB co-hosts the Nine Network’s ‘The Footy Show’, ‘Sunday Footy Show’ and is the Chairman of the North Melbourne Football Club. In 2011 JB is back with his great mate Billy Brownless on Triple M’s Rush Hour, Monday to Thursday 4pm to 6pm.

Garry Lyon (aka. The Lone Wolf)

In 1986 Garry debuted with the Melbourne Football Club as a key position player at both ends of the ground but specialised at centre-half forward, and captained the Demons from 1991-1997. He won Melbourne's best-and-fairest award in 1990 and 1994, was named All-Australian from 1993-1995 and was the Dees' leading goal kicker in 1994 and 1995. Garry's media career is nearly as impressive as his football career, excelling on television, radio and in print journalism. In 1995 he joined Channel Nine as a panellist on ‘The Footy Show’ and has been with the program, and the network, ever since. In 2007 Garry joined Triple M Football, and his brilliant football brain gives the listeners the jump on tactics and strategies. On TV, Garry co-hosts ‘The Footy Show’ with JB and hosts ‘Footy Classified’ on Monday nights and has a weekly newspaper column.

Rex Hunt (aka. Rexinald or Big Rex)

Former football star, famed fisherman, and award-winning radio commentator. Much has been written and said about Rex Hunt during his colourful career. After retiring from footy, Rex became a popular commentator for 3AW. He also hosted the Sportsworld Footy Panel and ‘I’m Rex Hunt and You’re Not’ on the Seven Network. His passion for fishing led to the popular national TV series ‘Rex Hunt’s Fishing Australia’. After a long association with AW, Rex decided it was time to up stumps on the AM band and move to the clear, crisp FM sounds of Triple M Football in 2010. A new sound, a new beginning and a recharged Rex Hunt ready to rock football again in 2011!

Jason Dunstall (aka. The Chief)

Jason Dunstall (aka. The Chief) is the third-greatest goalkicker in VFL/AFL history with a whopping 1254 to his credit. And when you add four premiership medallions, multiple John Coleman Medals and All-Australian honours to his CV, it becomes quickly apparent that the Chief is the most decorated man in Triple M’s football team. He could also be the most feared when not happy with the line of questioning, as Stephen Quartermain once discovered in a heated discussion now infamously referred to as ‘Ricegate’. The Chief also hosts Foxtel’s ‘Before The Bounce’, commentates on Saturday night games and is a presenter on FoxSports News.

Danny Frawley (aka. Spud)

A former St Kilda captain and Richmond coach, Spud joined the Triple M Football commentary team in 2005. Having experienced the highs and lows of playing and coaching, Spud has brought to Triple M Football a unique insight to the mindset of the modern AFL coach and player. As a champion full-back, Spud was the man with the job of stopping the likes of Dunstall, Brownless and Lyon from scoring goals. Friendships have now formed, but the occasional ribbing between the former foes continues. Spud also commentates on FoxSports, is a co-host on Foxtel’s ‘Before The Bounce’ and is Chief Executive of the AFL Coaches Association (AFLCA).

Luke Darcy (aka. Duke)

The Duke is a former Western Bulldogs star, best-and-fairest winner, All-Australian and AFLPA MVP recipient. But his brilliant playing career was cruelly curtailed by two serious knee injuries suffered in his prime. During these long stretches of rehab, Darc was able to hone his media skills by joining Network Ten’s AFL coverage and a few stints of calling football on radio. After retiring at the end of the 2007 season, Darc was able to throw himself into his off-field interests, including running a hotel in Richmond and sports commentary on TV and radio. Darc is part of Triple M’s Hot Breakfast show, alongside Eddie McGuire & Mick Molloy, and Triple M Football on Friday nights calling with JB, Garry and the Chief.

Billy Brownless (aka. William or Wilbur)

One of the great unconfirmed stories from the 80’s was about a young Geelong footballer named Billy Brownless kicking a football over a wheat silo. Many have tried, but few have succeeded. Billy the footballer was inspirational, and Billy the media star is incomparable. His budding media career was stamped early with regular appearances on ‘The Footy Show’ and ‘Sunday Footy Show’ and a breakfast show on radio SEN. Last year ‘William’ joined Triple M Football, reuniting with good mates Garry Lyon and James Brayshaw, plus he co-hosts Triple M’s Rush Hour Monday to Thursday 4pm to 6pm with JB. Please note: Billy holds the record for kicking the most goals in a game at the Gabba (11) and he also kicked a goal after the siren from 60 metres out to put the Cats into the 1994 Semi-Finals.

Stephen Quatermain (aka. Quarters)

Born in Melbourne, Stephen Quartermain lived in New York, London and Sydney before finally settling back in Melbourne at the age of 10. He began his career in journalism in 1980 as a cadet reporter with Leader Associated Newspapers, moving two years later to the ABC. During his three years as an ABC radio and television journalist, he gained extensive experience covering politics, industrial rounds, police rounds and his first love, sport. Stephen joined the TEN Network in 1984, has been presenting the nightly sports news in Melbourne for many years and commentates on TEN’s Saturday night football.

Hamish McLachlan (aka. Hame or Hammer)

Hamish comes from a strong sporting background with management and broadcast experience on a national and international level with sports including AFL, Olympics, tennis and cricket. During his time as a manager of elite athletes, he has also helped grow and develop successful sporting careers. Hame calls Triple M Footy on Saturday nights and Sundays and hosts Channel Seven’s Sunday morning panel show, ‘AFL Game Day’.

Dr Peter Larkins (aka. Dr Smooth or The Doc)

Back in the 1980s Dr Smooth travelled the world extensively studying sports and exercise medicine, eventually returning to Melbourne and setting up a private practice. He has been team doctor for the Australian Track and Field Team, Australian Cricket Team, Australian Triathlon Team, Australian Lacrosse Team and was club doctor for Geelong and Adelaide. The Doc began with Triple M in 1997, bringing a new initiative to broadcasting football with medical reports from the boundary. With the Doc’s expertise and quick eye, he was able to diagnose a player’s injury as it occurred. Now if an injury occurs to a footballer or any other athlete, the Doc is the first person to be questioned by the press for his expert opinion, which has helped educate the general public and the media on some important issues such as concussion, injury recovery and the blood rule.

Michael Roberts (aka. Robbo)

Robbo played nine seasons of footy with St Kilda, Richmond and Fitzroy for a total of 91 games and represented the Big V in 1981. After retiring from footy in 1987, Robbo easily made the transition from the footy field into the world of media, with a television career spanning almost 20 years. And he still looks 21 years of age! Working with Channel 7 and then later moving to Channel 9, Robbo was involved in AFL, golf, tennis and the Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games telecasts. On Triple M Footy, Robbo works the boundary for the Saturday night coverage, giving up-to-the minute reports on player changes, injuries and any on-field dramas that often occur.

Damian Barrett (aka. Purple-Headed Warrior or Damo)

He’s our No.1 man for news, regularly breaking the big stories in football. And when away from the footy, Damo worked at the Sydney and Athens Olympic Games as well as the Manchester and Melbourne Commonwealth Games. He won the 2006 Australian Football Media Association Most Outstanding News Reporter award and was a Finalist in the 2006 Walkley Awards. Damo also appears on Channel 9’s ‘The Footy Show’ on Thursday night and Sundays.

Mark Stevens (aka. Stevo)

A sports writer with the Herald Sun, Stevo is our main man for breaking stories during Sunday’s footy preview. And he doesn’t shy away from naming names! During the off-season he’s covered the wider world of sport including the tennis at the Australian Open.

Ash Chua (aka. Chu-Man)

Ash began his career of counting kicks, marks, clangers and hard-ball-gets back in 1992 when he joined the AFL’s official stats company APB Sports (now known as Champion Data). In ’94 he joined the Kangaroos as their statistician. For 10 years, Ash sat in the coach’s box alongside Denis Pagan, earning the distinction of being a two-time ‘Day and Night Premiership Statistician’. When his Kangaroos duties allowed, Ash began doing stats for Triple M in 2002. After sitting in the Triple M commentary box for almost 500 games, his most memorable moment was having his singlet ripped off by Spud Frawley without removing his shirt first. The incident almost dislocated poor Chu-man’s shoulder. Doing stats can be dangerous work!

Michael Christian (aka. Chrisso)

A member of Collingwood’s 1990 premiership team, Chrisso played 141 games for the Magpies. Since retiring in 1995, Chrisso has forged a successful career in the media through hosting Network Ten’s ‘The Fifth Quarter’, commentating the footy on TV and radio (including Triple M) and co-hosting a breakfast show on Sport 927. This year Chrisso is back calling Sunday games.

Barry Denner (aka. Baz)

It was back in the late 80’s while sitting in his Bendigo backyard listening to the local sports show when Barry decided he could do a better job than the local presenters. So he enrolled in a radio course. A few months later he had his own spot on a Saturday morning show. From there he began calling local footy before moving to Brisbane and calling all Lions games for 98.9fm and the NIRS Network back in Melbourne. This year Barry continues on Triple M Football as a Saturday night and Sunday twilight commentator.

Nathan Brown (aka. Browny or Nafe)

Former Richmond and Western Bulldogs player and one of Triple M’s favourite sons. Browny, a regular contributor to Triple M’s Rush Hour with his Brown Reports, first appeared on Triple M footy doing special comments on numerous occasions as a player - particularly when he was sidelined by a career-threatening broken leg sustained while at the peak of his powers. After 219 matches and 349 goals, Browny retired and became a full-time member of our team. Although Nafe’s honesty and openness got him in hot water with his club and coach during his playing days, it is more than welcome here at Triple M!

Troy Luff (aka. Luffy)

Luffy was recruited by the Sydney Swans in 1990. Known for his versatility, the 190cm tall Luff was often required to play in defence matching up on a key opponent. Deceptively quick for his height with good marking skills and a big leap, Luff attracted a cult following with a Melbourne-based cheer squad called the ‘Luffites’. A career highlight for him was competing in 1996 Grand Final, and Luffy was considered one of the better performing players from the losing Sydney Swans team. This season Luffy will again be seated in the Triple M commentary box giving his expert opinion and proudly watching his beloved Swans.

Brad Seymour (aka. Snapper)

Former Sydney Swans defender, played 133 games before ongoing injuries forced him into early retirement in 2003. Alongside his Triple M footy colleague Troy Luff, he was a member of the 1996 Grand Final losing team. After retirement Brad has worked as a reporter on FoxFooty before joining Triple M in 2007 to call all the on-field action.

John Kehoe (aka. JK)

A mad keen sports fan, John began calling local Aussie Rules football in his university days covering the Eastern Football League and Yarra Valley Football League in Melbourne. From there he progressed to the Canberra league, before landing on his feet at Triple M Football in Sydney in 2008. John also reported on the Swans famous 2005 premiership win and Barry Hall's controversial tribunal appearance in the days leading up to Sydney’s triumph. One of his best sporting memories is being in the Swans' change rooms as the players celebrated breaking the club's 72-year premiership drought.

Mark Ricciuto (aka. Roo)

Now in retirement, Mark Ricciuto finds himself in the Triple M commentary box giving his expert views on the game. But during his playing career "Roo", as he is better known, achieved just about everything. He is arguably Adelaide’s greatest-ever player, having notched up 300-plus games, including the '98 premiership, no fewer than eight All-Australian jumpers (twice as skipper), three best-and-fairest awards, and in 2003 was handed the game’s highest individual honour - the Brownlow Medal. He also captained the Crows for seven years (2001-2007).

Warren Tredrea (aka. Tredders)

After 255 games and 549 goals, Port Adelaide’s only premiership-winning captain retired midway through the 2010 season due to a serious ankle injury. Tredrea was one of the best forwards of the last decade with four All-Australian guernseys, four best-and-fairests and, most importantly, the 2004 Triple M Player of the Year award! Having previously worked on ESPN, FoxFooty and Channel 9, the obvious direction for Tredders to head towards was in the media. In November he joined Triple M’s Hot Breakfast Show with Ali Carle and Dale Lewis. Tredders also re-signed with Channel 9 Adelaide in a sports expert role, and writes a weekly sports column for the Advertiser newspaper. Plus Tredders is providing special comments for Triple M Football in 2011.

Dale Lewis (aka. Louie)

A 182-game player for the Sydney Swans, Louie was renowned for his consistency and his enormous ability and courage. He retired after the 2001 season to concentrate on his media career. Dale was a regular on Triple M’s ‘The Andrew Denton Breakfast Program’ before moving on to 2UE where he was part of the ‘Talking League’ team. Dale also commentated on Channel Seven’s AFL coverage and made appearances on the ABC’s ‘The Fat’. He moved to Adelaide, took over the coaching role of Norwood in the SANFL and joined the SA FM breakfast show. This year he’s back commentating for Triple M Footy.

Brenton Yates (aka. Yater)

Yater is now entering his eighth season calling the AFL with the Triple M Adelaide Commentary Team. Over the last 10-plus years, Yater has been a race caller in South Australia, calling the greyhounds, trots and gallops. Yater is a self-described 'sports nut', and loves nothing better than calling 'the best game in the world' - AFL.

Rhett Biglands

Rhett was recruited by Port Adelaide and placed on its inaugural 1997 list but did not play a game for the Power. He was then de-listed and drafted by the Crows two years later. After debuting in 2000, Rhett became one of the club’s best ruckman. In 2006, Rhett severely injured his knee, partially tearing his ACL while diving for a ball in the preliminary final against West Coast, ruling him out for the 2007 season. During his recovery Rhett joined the Triple M commentary team as a special comments man. Cruelly cut down with another knee injury before the ’08 season, Rhett was again a key member of Triple M Footy. After playing 134 games for the Crows, he announced his retirement at the end of the ’08 season.

Sean Tasker (aka. Task)

Sean made his SANFL debut in 1988 for the North Adelaide Football Club playing in two grand finals and winning the 1991 Premiership with the Roosters. Altogether he played 157 games of SANFL footy for the Roosters, Glenelg and Sturt footy clubs. Sean spent seven years with the Crows for 57 games in total, including the 1993 finals series. He was part of the squad for the Crows' inaugural premiership in 1997. These days he spends his weekends on the Triple M Stats machine.

After a 10-year career at Brisbane for a total of 183 games, Champs retired at the end of 2000. This sturdy and reliable defender worked incessantly on his skills and became one of the best full-backs in the AFL. That's the Champs way - work hard, be professional and create great team spirit, and thus during his playing days he was awarded Best Clubman, Most Professional Player and life membership honours. Champs has embraced life after football by juggling roles as a travelling reporter for Channel 7's Queensland Weekender and Great South East, an ambassador and Public Relations officer for AFL Queensland and appearances on the speaker's circuit. The versatility of the man was further showcased when Champs sang up a storm on Channel 7's ‘It Takes Two’ series, and made it to the final five. We can guarantee there will be no singing from Champs on Triple M footy.

Clark Keating (aka. Crackers)

Clark was picked up by the Brisbane Bears as a local in 1992, playing for their Under 19s, and debuted for the seniors in 1996. He earned the nickname "Mr September" for his ability to feature prominently in the Lions four consecutive grand final campaigns despite missing large chunks of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 home-and-away seasons due to various injuries. He played magnificent finals cameos in the ruck to feature in Brisbane’s historic three-peat of flags between 2001-03. Retiring at the end of the 2006 season, and despite not playing the required 150 games, Keating was still awarded Brisbane Lions Life Membership for his contributions to the club. In 2010, Crackers joined Triple M Football providing special comments and will continue to do so.
