Frees For and Against Tally for the Season

[Lozza]

Definitely the umps seem to be paying particular types of frees to others but when you see an almost identical instance  for our players it goes unrewarded for us only.

Umpires are only human so sometimes i wonder about the opposition's underdog element in assocation with the tall poppy syndrome now we are premiers.

As everyone has said its all about consistency,  i dont mind if they get decisions wrong but get it wrong for both teams.

[Slipper]

I don't see the problem here.

We are obviously a bunch of snipers and thugs.

[Lebowski]

The good thing is finals are generally umpired better with less soft free kicks given as last seasons final series showed. I don’t mind if that happens again

Rohan Connolly asked umpire Jacob Mollison about our worst in the league free kick differential and Mollison said he couldn't explain why. He said they don't notice it out on the field and the umps just pay the frees that are there.

The Sydney game for me had some of the worst umpiring of the year imo.  The numbers weren’t that bad from memory, I think we lost the count by 7 or so, but it was more the ones we didn’t get, that they got.

I would like to see Cotch as captain say something occasionally during a game. It shows great restraint not to, but sometimes it’s just blatant cheating and something needs to be said.

Just because we are winning shouldn’t excuse the fact.

That seems to be the excuse/justification though, BT. Even Mollison said "it hasn't stopped them from winning" as though that makes it all okay.

That is an amazing stat.

One thing I will say about us is we give away stupid free kicks.
Whether it’s holding on too long after the tackle or just recklessly tackling too high.
We need to improve in this area.
