Michael Christian made an immediate transition from premiership AFL footballer to highly respected sports media commentator both on television and radio. He is a key member of Network Ten’s AFL coverage as a commentator and host of the highly popular “Fifth Quarter” and has co-hosted ‘Prime Time Sports’ on Radio Sport National since 2004. Christian played 135 games for Collingwood after being recruited at the age of 23 from WAFL club East Perth where he played 85 games. He played an integral role in Collingwood’s drought breaking premiership in 1990 and represented his state, Western Australia four times at State Of Origin level winning the Graham Moss Medal for Western Australia’s best player in 1993.
Following his retirement at the end of the 1995 season, Christian focused on his business career as a stockbroker. A Chartered Accountant, he was ultimately promoted to the position of Head of Australian Sales for giant Dutch investment bank, ABN Amro.
During this period, Christian also pursued a football broadcasting career with ABC Radio. His accurate, insightful and enthusiastic football commentary saw him quickly develop into one of the most highly regarded broadcasters in the game.
In a bold career change Christian decided to focus purely on developing his media career and as a consequence resigned from his stockbroking commitments in late 2001. In 2002 he was hand picked to join Network Ten as an original member of its AFL coverage where he has excelled as a commentator and host of the “Fifth Quarter”. He also joined top rating football commentary team on Triple M radio. In 2004 he became host of the very popular “Prime Time Sports” on Radio Sport National which complemented his great passion for horseracing and breeding.
