Watch how they punish us with 50 metre penalties when we curse multiple horrible decisions.... Just like they will unfairly target Dusty for a fend off. Meanwhile the Bulldogs and Collingwood will still be treated differently to the rest of the competition. If umpiring was consistent more often it would go along way to fixing these very issues.

In fact we might as well pencil in now at least 5 to 6 50 metre penalties against for round 1.

I guarantee you will be again last on the ladder for free kicks third year in a row and mind you with a huge minus of 30 to 40 frees to the team above us.

It's the way we play and why we've been so successful. We push boundaries

I agree with the position we will be in, but my concern is that it is not about the way we play….

It's not the free kicks we give away that ticks us off though. It's the ones we don't get that do.

Spot on goes down the other end and the team is payed the free while with us it's play on.

How was Dangerfield's raised fly kick to Miller's upper chest missed by the ump and not even looked at by MRO?  :huh

So much for cracking down on "duty of care"!

I did enjoy Danger having a free kick reversed because he ducked

We gave away EIGHT 50m penalties tonight :help.

Frees kicks were 20 to 28.

Rinse and repeat.  If I could bet on the free kick count in our games then I'd be a very rich person.  We get shafted every week.

The EIGHT 50m penalties were due to our stupidity and ill-discipline

Nothing to do with the umps.

The 50 against Sheds in the 2nd was just laughable!  Carlton player marks & goes back 2mtrs, the ump calls ‘stand’ to Sheds.  Carlton player fakes a handball, Sheds lifted his foot off the ground & put it back down again - called for 50mtr penalty!  Sheds didn’t come forward or even backwards, he didn’t even go laterally.  So is that what the stand rule was designed to achieve?     :-\
