Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

Which game did he screw us 18-1 in again?

It was 17-1 but if my memory is correct the one free kick he paid us was when he recalled the kick back as we were streaming out of centre bounce, which effectively made it 18-0.

It's funny, people think we should complain about being harshly dealt with by umpires.

We have done, and it doesn't seem to have improved.

A controversial former AFL umpire is on the run after being accused of masterminding an $8.7m fraud.
An arrest warrant is set to be issued for Troy Pannell after he failed to appear at a Victorian Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday over claims he ripped off his employer, logistics company SeaRoad Shipping.
Lawyers asked the Australian Federal Police to add Mr Pannell to a watchlist, saying the umpire – who has invested heavily in race horses and was at the centre of a free kicks furore in 2016 – could even end up “in Bogota”, the capital of Colombia.

Mr Pannell was accused in court documents of pulling off the alleged scam on SeaRoad – where he worked as a senior manager in Port Melbourne – by creating a fake company that purported to repair damaged containers for $800 to $900 each.

SeaRoad allegedly paid the firm, Independent Container Surveyors & Assessors (ICSA), $8.7m from 2015 to 2024.
“ICSA has been paid in excess of $8.5m by SeaRoad since 2015. That is a significant amount of money and suggestive of extensive services. Therefore, SeaRoad’s inability to identify any evidence of services being provided to it is also of great concern. In light of the above, SeaRoad is concerned that ICSA … and Mr Pannell may have colluded to defraud SeaRoad of a significant amount of money.”

Jonathan B Davis KC, for SeaRoad, said he believed Mr Pannell was in South Australia, but there were fears he could flee the country.

Adding him to the AFP watchlist would “save us from coming back and saying that we’ve missed an opportunity and instead of going interstate Mr Pannell is in Bogota or similar”, he said.

It is understood the arrest warrant is due to be processed within days. Justice Andrew Watson adjourned the case until June 6.

We always knew he was a crook

The only disappointment was the below par commentary

Odd question many probably can’t answer.
Is it as common in Victoria for AFL players to all attend the reserves games when they can as it is with the SANFL? I’m always impressed with how many Adelaide or Port players attend the SANFL games.

Distance is probably more of a factor in Melbourne TBH

I wonder if he had income protection insurance with TPD or something? I hope so, that's shocking.

No one accuses Corgis of being smart. Even Bulldogs end up with 1 or 2 gunning it towards the finish line.

To be fair, there’s probably only five players on there who would be considered best 23 quality in a premiership calibre team.

was totally robbed of the 1999 Mark of the Year with this, especially considering what Modra got away with with his MOTY literally 2 years earlier.

Doesn’t use his hands to get up like the dickhead John Russo states, still pisses me off that it just ends up being a non-mark instead of an all-time great grab.

Side-note, not exactly new information but John Russo was an utter c**t as an umpire and ‘special’ comments pundit.

considering the 2001 mark of the year considered an all time great was a fair push in the back first, way worse than that. My guess is the umpire just gues
