Neil Cordy

Neil Cordy

Neil Cordy (born 8 April 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer and now television presenter.

Football career

Recruited from Traralgon, Victoria, he was the brother of fellow Australian rules footballers Graeme and Brian. His nephew, Ayce, currently plays for the Western Bulldogs after being selected under the father-son rule as son of Brian.[1] He made his debut with the Footscray Football Club in 1979, and went on to play 139 games and kick 28 goals with the club until 1986, mainly playing as a winger.[1]

He moved to the Sydney Swans in 1987, playing more of a defensive role, going on to play 96 games and kick 3 goals until 1993, when he retired.[1]

Media career

Following Cordy's move to Sydney with his football career, he stayed in the city and became a sports reporter for Network Ten. He has been a long-time contributor to the show Sports Tonight and the nightly sports reports on the news. He has also been a boundary rider during AFL matches for Ten, mostly in Sydney or for big games involving the Sydney Swans, such as the 2005 and 2006 Grand Finals.

On Fridays, he appears on Ten's Morning News to preview the weekend in NRL and AFL. He also fills in as presenter of Sports Tonight, when either Brad McEwan or Rob Canning are unavailable.
