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.

    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.

    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.

    Bloody hell....

    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.

    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

    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?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
