I love old school Perc too, but isn't he being held up by a star picket these days? not a great look for telly. Embers is ok

Percy is still out meandering about on the training track with the lads some nights Jardine albeit it in a mentoring role....love him or hate him you can not deny his passion for the WAFL and helping the kids....whilst I'd love to see him commentating on Ch7 I doubt they'd have the balls considering his stance towards the alignment and bullying by the AFL chronies of the WAFL comp.....would rather him down at SD anyways...seriously good value if you are within earshot

Perc is a ripper mate , the kids at Basso are blessed to have him around the place for sure
Exactly the sort of commentator that should be there for special comments tbh

Whoever does the damn commentary will need to be interested in the Wafl, not some useless numpties that couldn't give a toss!
For instance, Glen Mitchell would be a top choice. Peter Spencer would be another fine candidate with his commentary.

Woosha would be another good one to get on board as well....no nonsense sort of fella who doesnt shy away from things.....well most things eh southerner?

I was just thinking the other day why not give Glen Mitchell a go, or even Trevor Jenkins he did well with the WAFL years ago.

But I draw the line with Perc, jeez, most younger foke would not have a clue who he is - we need to enter a new chapter, he is well past it. He was OK in the 80's but that was another era.

Only hope the Wafl broadcasts do not turn into some silly circus!

Met Glen Motchell at an EF home game last year v SD. Genuine passion for WAFL footy and came across as a decent bloke. Not sure what his demons are a few have mentioned on here but imo would be a good pick up for the ch7 commentary team as has done a good job in the past in my eyes

No Garlic Munchers like Mitchell or Jenkins, good callers but ruin it with bias.

Mitch has had a pretty big battle with the Black Dog mate and without his missus Karen Tighe & his doctor I shudder to think what may have happened - to their credit things seem to be looking upward but I'm not sure he'd ever be back fulltime commentating again sadly
A very very good one at his peak I think anyway

Geez you blokes are harsh - Percy is a ripper on the radio always was , no arty farty rubbish just straight as an arrow sting
