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: 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
