THIS INTERVIEW IS FROM THE FULL EPISODE OF THE JIM SESSION - ROUND 12 WITH SHAUN GRIGG PODCAST:

"Being the best version of yourself when s**t doesn't go your way ... that's really hard."

"How do you treat people when you're getting a kick in the ass?" 

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!
