AFL: Adam Simpson chats about his transition from coach to commentator, as he headlines Fox Footy's coverage for 2025.
Coach to commentator: Simmo on new life | 03:02 Jason Dunstall first became a legend during his playing days at Hawthorn, and is now also a media legend in his own right covering the AFL from the commentary box .
Dunstall’s playing days made him more qualified than almost anyone to speak on the sport from the commentary box — but that didn’t necessarily mean the industry would let him make a name for himself off-field. Dunstall rubbed shoulders with some of the industry’s absolute best in his first five or show years, all the while still playing at Hawthorn until the end of the 1998 season.
“I don’t know that you’d call them mentors, but you just have incredible respect for people that you’ve seen. When you get along and you see the likes of Sandy Roberts, Bruce McAvaney and Dennis Cometti … the quality of these people is something that you aspire towards; they’re the gold standard. “The thing that sticks out the most to me was working with Sandy Roberts at the MCG, and the scoreboard caught alight!” Dunstall said.
The four-time premiership Hawk and three-time Coleman Medallist has long prided himself on being “relatable” to viewers at home, in an era where stats, analytics and coverage are as good as they ever have been.
