    Here is Part 2 of Dan's chat with Sports Commentator Matt Hill

    Matt Hill is fast becoming one of this country's best-ever sports broadcasters.

    He started as a race caller, eventually replacing the incomparable Greg Miles in Melbourne. He has now called nine Melbourne Cups with superb accuracy and brilliance. He is also a senior AFL Commentator with Fox Footy and SEN and has covered and commented on only seven Summer and Winter Olympic events, including the rowing for Channel Nine TV this year and the Aths for Channel Nine radio. He is also one of the nicest guys in the sports media industry and it was a pleasure to have a long chat (and I mean a long chat) over two parts for Dashing Dan's Sporting Adventures.
