Triple M announces 2026 AFL Grand Final call team – Triple M has named Jack Heverin and Mark “Howie” Howard as the lead callers for the 2026 AFL Grand Final. The broadcaster will deliver coverage throughout Grand Final week on radio and LiSTNR.
Heverin will call his first AFL Grand Final for Triple M. He joins Howard in the lead team. AFLW pioneer Kate McCarthy, four-time premiership player Isaac Smith and two-time All-Australian Nathan Brown will provide expert analysis. Ash Chua and Michael Roberts will cover statistics and boundary duties.
Heverin called the appointment an “unbelievable honour”. He said he first listened to Triple M as a fan. Later, he set a goal to work for the network. The Grand Final role puts him alongside one of Australian sport radio’s most familiar commentary teams.
