Anthony Hudson

Anthony Hudson

Anthony Hudson (born 10 April 1971) is an Australian rules football commentator on both television and radio.

Early career

In 1991, he began his career with 3AW as a news journalist, and eventually progressed his way up to calling an AFL Grand Final in 1996. He began his television career in Perth, as a news boy, and eventually made his way to Melbourne. In the late 1990s he was a Football Commentator for the Seven Network but when Network Ten won the AFL rights in 2002 he made the move to 10 and has since made his mark and has become a popular identity there, and was host of football comedy series After The Game, which later became Before The Game, from 2002-2005, when he decided to leave the show to stop himself from overloading his workload, and allowing him to call Saturday Night Football. He was replaced by Andrew Maher. Hudson missed out on calling the Grand Final in 2005, despite calling it every other year that Ten had the rights for AFL.

Quotes From Hudson

"All aboard the Davey train to the MCG"- Hudson often used this in Melbourne Football player Aaron Davey's first senior season in reference to goals scored by Davey using his pace and/or from acute angles. This quote was also repeated in a television commercial by Hudson for a Deadly Surf AFL trading card game (AFL Teamcoach).

"I see it, but I don't believe it as I'm bloody excited!" - most famously attributed to the 2003 Qualifying Final between Port Adelaide and Sydney when Jude Bolton kicked a goal to put the Swans unbelievably 40 odd points up in the 2nd quarter, a game where the Swans where $7.00 to win. He also used the phrase in the semi-final between Geelong and Sydney in the 2005 AFL finals series, where Nick Davis scored the winning goal with 3 seconds remaining after Davis scored all four goals in the final term. Ironically, this performance by Davis was against Hudson's team (Geelong).

"Who would have thought the sequel would be just as good as the original for the AFL fans around Australia" - after the 2006 Grand Final in which West Coast won by 1 point.
