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 & 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).
