Anthony 'Huddo' Hudson (born 10 April 1971) is an Australian sports commentator in television and radio. He mainly commentates Australian rules football. He also writes for News Corp newspapers.[1] Hudson has a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism which he earned in 1993 at RMIT University.[2]
Hudson became well known during the 1990s as a commentator for 3AW Football and subsequently the Seven Network and then Network Ten, where he cemented his name.
Hudson called the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2011 AFL grand finals for Network Ten.
Hudson was famous for two particular calls on Network Ten:
- "I see it, but I don't believe it" (upon Sydney Swans player Nick Davis kicking a game-winning goal in the 2005 AFL semi-final).
- "Who would've thought the sequel would be just as good as the original?" (upon the West Coast Eagles winning the 2006 AFL Grand Final).
And another two on Fox Footy:
- "It's there! The miracle on grass!" (upon the Brisbane Lions coming from 52 points down to beat the Geelong Cats)[3]
- "Thirteen! Thirteeeeeen!" (upon former Hawthorn Hawks player Lance Franklin kicking his thirteenth goal in a 2012 AFL home and away game against North Melbourne Kangaroos)[4]
