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?

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
