Triple M Footy’s Brian Taylor believes renowned AFL umpire ‘Razor’ Ray Chamberlain didn’t take being overlooked for Saturday’s grand final too well.
The league announced on Tuesday that Brett Rosebury, Shaun Ryan and Matt Stevic would be in charge for the premiership decider between Collingwood and West Coast at the MCG.
“The story really is the guy who missed out – ‘Razor’ Ray,” BT told Triple M’s Rush Hour during The Midweek Rub.
“He’s the emergency umpire, unlikely to get a run, unlikely to be an injury I would have thought.
“But I’m told that at selection it wasn’t taken all that well.
“I just think he’s laid the whole season on the line and that’s what he’s aiming for - to umpire a grand final and you didn’t get it, you would be disappointed I reckon and you wouldn’t be normal if you weren’t.
“He’s unlucky I reckon.”
