One of Melbourne’s best known broadcasters is joining 3AW Football.

Jacqui Felgate will be part of 3AW’s leading footy commentary and analysis team in 2023.

Felgate will be joined by returning favourites Matthew Lloyd, Jimmy Bartel, Leigh Matthews, Caroline Wilson, Tim Lane and a host of others, as 3AW takes back control of its AFL content and commercialisation from SEN.

After stints filling in on 3AW Breakfast and Afternoons, Felgate is delighted to be joining 3AW.

“I grew up listening to 3AW footy while standing with my mum in the outer at Kardinia Park,” she said.

“I’ve loved filling in over recent months and I’m delighted to be able to talk footy with our listeners next season. It really is a privilege to work alongside such experienced and talented broadcasters.”

To highlight that talent, Leigh Matthews was last night judged best radio commentator for analysis at the Australian Football Media Association awards.

Matthew Richardson received the Lou Richards Award.
