Another interesting point. Pannell had an extended break from umpiring this season for whatever reason. This will be his 2nd game back, meaning both games umpiring us.

Just did the old google search.

First headline “ Troy Pannell is a f_og”. True headline by the way.

Then it goes on to say he suffered concussion during a game this year.

i just took my time machine for a little run.....

....and yes, the umpiring tonight was just appalling

i'll keep the final score a secret......mainly because i am a sadist deep down

He umpired the first 3 rounds alongside 'the Raz' and then wasn't seen again until last week. One too many over-rules from 50m away of his poor decisions? I'm sure every over-rule is like a blow to the head for these clowns.

It looks as though the AFL was trialling umpire 'teams' in the first 3 rounds. I only had a quick look but the games I saw had the same 3 umpires together week on week. Obviously failed in whatever measure they were testing, I wonder what that may have been.

Perhaps you two can start the post match discussion for us.

Freo to kick 7 goals to zip in the opening term, 6 via 50 metre penalties....I'm out.

 

Given the way we've been bent over by those on-the-take scumbags the last 2 games, pre-emptive complaining makes sense.

Razor and Pannel? Are you serious? This week? Seems suss AFL would send Razor Ray to Darwin, enough there for a good conspiracy!

It was heard on the grapevine that Razor was being sent to Darwin hoping that the humidity would cure his Willy problems, causing some shrinkage, no doubt. Y'see, Razor has his Willy growing out of his forehead and golly, poor chap, just can't see for nuts.

What a great way to inculcate a culture of corruption. By assigning the same teams week on week.

That qualifies you for the ISO 2001 Standard 'Prize of the Month'. Quality system design, my friend.

Rather than smearing someone like that I'd prefer if questionable umpiring decisions were added to here: I know it's a pain but if people are serious...

Shows us all that in the judgement of rules and the application/utility thereof, the AFL considers that Pannell got things correct and can do so again, reliably.

Whilst enabling a high scoring and close game. Super effort that man.

https://www.facebook.com/AFL.Umpiring.Reviews/

Agree with you, Timbo but there is firstly a need to percolate a need for distrust and revision of the umpires that the AFL in its wisdom assigns to us.

Humour can be convincing, alerting, promoting some consideration of the topical abstraction, as well as providing an indirect avenue for the expression of contemplative abhorration and in this case, drumming up support for your excellent ideas in this matter. If we were overly serious about it all, it might not gain the attention it deserves. Already this past 24 hours, we have been labelled as 'whingers' and that is a message one might resent and/or regret.

Complaining about the umpiring before the game has even begun is the most MFCSS thing I've ever heard. I love it. 

Agree, it's awesome!

I can't believe I haven't been doing it for years!

As stated previously, in footballing circles, time travel is an enigma, discovered simultaneously at different points in history. The Dees' association with this variable is that its supporters seem to have slowed the 'history' part of the enigma, merging as one on the concept of past, present and future fair play. 

given umpires vote on players for the brownlow.....

....how about players vote on umpires for the downlow?

 

we could also have an umpires tribunal where they could be fined for blatant errors and a mro for conduct unbecoming, bringing the game into disrepute etc and being suspended making them ineligible for the downlow

goose, gander

Risk analysis and assessment is always advisable - do I watch a TV live telecast or do I just get drunk at the thought of it all?

i think you mean use your own good judgement

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
