Thank you Todd

[Todd Goulder @toddgoulder]

@TimGavel Have lived in the UK for 15 years now but grew up listening to you calling the Raids. I can still place your voice… just like Jim Maxwell with the cricket. Enjoy retirement.

Earlier this week I informed the ABC that this year would be my last as a commentator. I retired from ABC Sport as a f/t employee in 2018 and have called as a contractor since then. 36 seasons is enough. V grateful for the opportunity.

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thank you Ben

[Ben Jones @btj77]

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thank you George

[George Donikian @GeorgeDonikian]

@TimGavel All the best Tim 😎

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thanks Tim. It was great to have as part of the team for so long. Starting as the most passionate stats man to being a sideline eye with the ability to secure sine great interviews with the players . Tim

[Tim Gore @GorskiOPork]

I met Tim in 1993 & hounded him about the Raiders straight away. 6 years later he foolishly let me hang around the commentary box. 25 years on I don’t have adequate words to express my gratitude to Tim for the immense support & opportunities he’s given me. A true Canberra Legend.

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thank you Craig . Hope all is well in NZ Tim

[Craig Norenbergs 🇦🇺🇳🇿 @CraigNorenbergs]

@TimGavel Well done Tim. Always enjoyed your calls no matter the sport. You understand the joy of sport and always professional.

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thank you for those kind words Packy. The time we spent on the road over the years were so enjoyable and I must admit I was never sure what I was going to get when I went to Packy on the sideline. All the best mate

[David Packwood @DavidPackwood]

Only the great ones last the time that u have & maintain the highest of standards. Never met anyone who gave so much of themselves to others & expected nothing in return. Honoured to be part of journey & call you a 'mate'. The kid from Condobolin has done his family & ACT proud.

[Tim Gavel @TimGavel]

Thank you Richard yes we had some great years working together Tim

[Richard Svenson @SvensonRichard]
