Not the men going to the front line of course… I have heard the real victims of the Ukraine war are the stray dogs. There was some charity campa...

Sean Maloney - Aus commentator

His commentating has improved out-of-sight this season.

It seems he's dialled the overly excited rugby league style boofhead persona way back and his commentating has improved drastically as a result. I quite like him now.

At least, I not longer feel the need to mute the games.

Good job big man.
