Yep. And Hogan was completely unprepared for it. Dropped him and ran off. Very low act and one i's suggest the dees won't let go. I hope Viney plays next time.

Why is that 1 week? A hit behind the play surely deserves more than that!

Playing for the 'Family Club' is an automatic sentence reduction of 1 match.  Hawks as always showing young kids the right way to behave in schools and parks and drunken nights out. 

Dont like somebody? Just belt them.

Send a message and actually have these umpires called out for once for that dirty work.

DD, if you have a look at the clip of Bernie's "report" on the MFC website, it shows an extended version of the play.  If you have a look at the 16-17 second mark, you can actually see that Pannell isn't actually looking at Bernie when the "incident" happened.  He more paid both the 50m and the report based on Squealer Smith's reaction, which totally sucked Pannell in.

I remember thinking it at the time that Pannell wasn't actually watching Bernie, and just responded to Smith's sooking.  The clip on the MFC site just confirms it.

Joke.

As he should be. The muppet umpire who reported him should be suspended for incompetence.

And did you see Mitchell slide the knee into bernie's head on the outer wing? I hate the Hawks

Jones charged with wrestling once again. He's forking over some cash so far this year... Does anyone know if subsequent wrestling charges can ever result in suspension, not just a financial penalty?

I don't think you can ever get suspended for wrestling.

I think the penalty maxes out at $4,000. That's probably why Jones keeps 'flying the flag'.

Immediately after the report, Smith brushed the umpire aside to goad Vince.  I thought umpire contact was not permitted.

It is especially unecessary in this incident.

So that's three umpiring blues confirmed from that game and every one went against us: the free in front of goal to the head ducking squib, Bernie's report and 50 metre penalty, and the non-report on the gutless Ceglar.

God I hope we do them in the return match.

Wheres Phil Carman these days?

That umpire is a joke. He is a blight on the game, and his need to get his ugly head on TV constantly is getting boring.

[censored] him off.

EXPERIENCED umpire Troy Pannell has found time to laugh about being in the spotlight after he paid 17 free kicks to the Western Bulldogs and just one to Adelaide last Saturday night.

Keen to move on from the controversy, Pannell told K-Rock radio that laughter was the best way to cope with the scrutiny that inevitably comes an umpire's way when the free-kick count is lopsided.

"For me, I tend to laugh about it a little bit. It makes it a little bit easier," Pannell said after visiting Geelong umpires on Wednesday night.

"People blow up photos and put them on your desk. You really need to laugh it off."

 

  Ha ha, really funny, stuff up every week and just laugh it off.

That's a fairly disturbing gif.

I've seen more disturbing gifs.

These are usually sent from Bitter phone and are good at inducing a vomiting response.

I keep them handy in case I accidentally ingest something toxic.

Bloody Nora that is one revolting gif Mandy. You should post a warning beforehand. After all, Melbourne are the new and improved family club.
