An arrest warrant was issued today by the Victorian Supreme Court to bring the former AFL umpire before Justice Andrew Watson in a civil case. His former employer is pursuing him over $8.7 million they allege he defrauded from them. Pannell, who officiated 291 AFL games from 2005 to 2018 — including a controversial 2016 match where he awarded 17 free kicks to the eventual flag-winning Bulldogs and only one to Adelaide during a regular season game — now faces serious legal trouble.

Nick Larkey has escaped sanction for a similar tackle to the one that resulted in teammate Paul Curtis copping a controversial three-match suspension. Larkey chased down Bomber Jaxon Prior and tackled him from behind, pinning his arms and rolling him, as Prior hit the ground hard. It was a near-identical tackle to Curtis’ tackle on Port player Josh Sinn, but unlike Sinn, Jaxon was not concussed and played out the rest of the game, which Essendon won 65-62.
