According to Jon Anderson in the Sunday Herald Sun, Luca Gonano (3AW Breakfast producer) will head up 3AW Football in 2023 after Craig Moore who was previously in the role was made redundant.
There will be a focus on news and clearly-defined calling roles. Sam McClure has made a favourable impression since becoming host of Wide World of Sports and is expected to be heard more. A lively boundary rider may also be in the mix, as is a return to the days of a qualified medico such as Dr Peter Larkins giving updates.

I assume this was a studio call, Leigh Montagna lead caller with Kate McCarthy alongside.

Good to read Michael Price back on air. He was a great broadcaster on Triple M and later, Fairfax radio Brisbane.

Jimmy was responding to an article in todayâs Herald Sun in which Huddo explained why he switched from SEN to 3AW. Huddo, who will call Friday night matches for 3AW this season, said he âwas flattered that they (3AW) wanted me to come back and I felt like it was a good time to go backâ.

Carlton legend Mark McClure has left ABC Radio after being part of the AFL commentary team for 22 years. He is in discussions about other media roles for the upcoming season.

According to Scott Gullan in the Herald Sun, AFLW players Libby Birch and Abbie McKay will join 3AW Football as boundary riders for Friday and Saturday nights respectively this season. All other commentary teams remain unchanged with the exception of Anthony Hudson calling Friday nights which was previously announced (meaning Tim Lane moves to Sundays in addition to Saturday afternoons).

So what is happening to Jaq Reid?

This will be Abbie McKayâs first media role, while Libby Birch has been a semi-regular guest on The W Show (produced by AFL Media) during the womenâs season.
I think Jacqui Reid is staying put and will be boundary rider for Saturday afternoon matches.
