Overall I feel have had more free kicks than the opposition in most games this season. Last week we had a fairly good week from the umps.
We have had more frees in 7 games, equal in 1 game and less frees in 13 games. Of the 7 games our record is 4 wins, 3 losses and of the 13 games our record is 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. Given the 'generalised' view that you should get more frees in a winning team because theoretically you are first in, the most glaring discrepancies have been the Melb game 8 - 18 and yesterday's 17 - 24. We haven't had a significant 'benefit' in any game we have lost, the best being 23 - 18 against St Kilda (and we all know the reality of who played better in that game).
So interestingly, I think we have copped a raw deal over the course of the season.
