Returning home in 2008, Hamish joined Channel 7, first hosting AFL Game Day with a mix of informed opinion and light-hearted banter alongside the game’s greats. He went on to host Spring Racing coverage, call tennis for the Australian Open World Feed, and lead Triple M’s award-winning Spring Racing broadcasts. His experience also includes breakfast radio on SEN and calling AFL matches.
