Where does that break down come from?

Also, for what period as it doesn't add up, our frees for are 150 and against 201, even if you subtract the last round it still doesn't add up.

Still would like to know where to get this.

Good stats, 3rd last for gaining frees from tackles, and leading the comp with 93 frees given away from poor tackling technique.

We need someone from the Storm to teach us about Zombies and Frogs.

There are obviously lots more smaller free kick categories. Front on contact, blocking, late contact, tripping, ran too far, unrealistic attempt, wearing a Richmond jumper into a contest etc etc.

Totally incompetent or outright cheating pricks. Very hard to respect this type of performance each week.

Rather than having all these *smile* “academies” the afl should fund Umpires Kindergarten, then they can graduate to Umpires Primary, then Secondary classes.

By the time they graduate and have some practical experience after “repeating” every year they’d be in their mid forties.

Might just be easier to umpire from a bunker in the grandstand. one on field to throw the ball up - he doesn’t get a whistle
Their feelings wouldn’t be offended if a player raised an eyelash at a poor decision.
No costly50m penalties.
Reduced costs as they wouldn’t need so many nincompoops ruining the game and BScott can just be in charge of checking the air pressure of the footies. Better still, he can gagf and fo.

Non, grey infringements by us: free kick to opposition.

Grey infringements by opposition - even if they’re exactly the same: play on.

We got absolutely hammered by them today. Again.
