2024 Charity Partner

We continue to support grass roots Melbourne based charities.

the final two teams battling it out for the ultimate prize in Football ...

Since 1997 the tradition of the Commentators Club, is to raise funds for a grass roots Melbourne based charity..

and over this time we have raised close to half a million dollars...

and, helped out over 20 very deserving charitible organisations.

But we could not do this without support from our guests and sponsors.

Please continue to support us, to support them...

Olumpic Hero

Ariane Titmus

We’re thrilled to announce the surprise guest for the 2024 Commentators Club is none other than the awesome Ariarne 'Arnie' Titmus.

Footy Legend

Kane Cornes

One of the AFL’s elite midfielders, with four Best and Fairest’s and a place in Port Adelaide’s inaugural AFL Premiership to his name, Kane is a great of the Power and as a result, was inducted into Port's Hall of Fame in 2018.

Comedy Royalty

Sean Woodlands

As a heavily tattooed skinhead, Sean 'Woody' Woodlands feels continuously obliged to assure the judgemental that he isn’t any of those words that end in ‘ist’. Sadly, things don’t always go to plan....

'One of the funniest'
