As far a AFL podcasts go this one had three or four genuine laugh out loud moments.

Ray is great entertainment.

Thanks for sharing.

 

1:30 - "He's 45 years age and he's still umpiring, what an idi0t"...Yeah, well we all knew the last part 😉🤣 (half kidding).

Well that was very entertaining. 

thought I would be done after 5mins, but watched it all with great interest. 

Thanks for sharing 

Always liked him but my respect now is huge. Very funny man. Would love to have a drink with him and listen to his stories. When he retires he could really drop some dirt on many AFL directives he has had to endure.

Given he doesn’t mind a bit of attention, could be an explosive post career book. 
 

Diary entry Sat 24th July 2021:-

We got another email from Gil this morning. This time, it simply stated “”tonight dogs to beat Dees. Just get it done””

I only got part way through before I got distracted on other things, but thus far actually pretty impressed.

Like the part about the MFC players generally engaging with the umpires in a focused and disiplined way, without needless carry-on.  I'm sure he has to watch what he was saying when singling out praise for the MFC players in this way, so as not to be perceived as favouring us, but what he said was pretty objective and general in nature in many ways and, I'm guessing Ray was also sending a bit of a message to the rest of the comp - your conduct on the feild and behaving in a professional manner towards the umpires is an ingredient towards becoming a premership side!

Thought his insights into his junior umpiring days was also interesting.

Built a bit more respect for him out of what I've heard of the interview this far, but still got to say that he does grate on me the way he seems to carry on out on the feild and creates the attention around himself, rather than just getting on with the game.

Dieter thanks for that. It's probably the best AFL related interview I have ever seen.

Actually, It's definitely the best I've ever seen.

Informative, interesting, funny, insightful.....

 

I guess I could sum it up by saying that I never liked Razor Ray until I watched this YouTube clip. He is my kind of human.

edit: Should add that Robbo is now on my watch list for a follow. Wow he is good behind the mic.
