Footy Live Editor Jimmy Szabo wraps up the round that was, while bringing you strong opinions on the hottest topics in the AFL world.

Today’s guest is one of the biggest characters of our great game of Aussie Rules football. With a warm personality, an ability to relate to others, and a confident persona, this man has added a profile and theatre to the art umpiring never before seen. His commitment to officiating has seen him notch up over 350 AFL games, 29 finals, and three grand finals since his debut back in 2004. Off the field, he’s a motivational speaker, mortgage broker, business owner, and a great bloke!

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome the one and only Mr. Ray ‘Razor’ Chamberlain to The Jim Session this week.
