17-8 at half time?

That means 5 frees given in the 3rd quarter and 17 in the last quarter.

Wow, everyone was on good behaviour after half time and then lost it in the last.

What a farce.

and I'm pretty sure right after this. Petracca picks the ball up in our D50, drives to drive into a through a tackle, drops the ball and again it was called play on.

Add to that, a player that tried to duck under a tackle just inside our D50, and was paid a high free, just lucky that the twat played on and put it through for a behind.

I remember the ‘high’ tackle. That was another one where I shouted ‘He ducked into it!’ Every time a player does that it should be deemed prior opportunity and paid as holding the ball. That’ll soon stop the ducking.

Buddy just made contact with the umpire but the commentators just laughed it off so expect more inconsistencies with the MRP fining players for umpire contact.
What? Buddy escaped any penalties for his contact with an umpire? No way.

I did read somewhere that Dimma had approached the AFL about the free kick differential.
Appears nothing was achieved.
How about he takes the graph to the AFL as per above by TigerForce and see if that makes any difference.
Won't happen of course, but should.
How about you, TigerForce, send it to Dimma.
We can't as it is your post.

I don't want to be ambushed by AFL mobsters.

Thanks TF. I was sitting there Sunday night and it was just like the umps were willing the Dees a goal in that 15 min period. It was that bad it looked scripted.

It ain't just the free kicks the opposition get, it is the non-calls that kill us also.

This has been going for years now, makes our 3 x premierships even more prestigious with our freek kick for/against/constant non-calls in our favour record.

The AFL Mafia will make that the umpire was that gave us a free with 0.27 seconds to go will be sleeping with the fishes.

True. Admittedly, we kicked 3 goals and hit the lead just after this, but gifting questionable (noticed the ? I typed) frees so quickly (7 in 7 mins) can deflate any team's confidence.
 
Could not blame you for that.
However, someone needs to send this type of info to the AFL
I reckon Benny has been questioning these a-holes for sometime but they keep responding back: "OK, we'll look into it".....and then click 'Delete'.
