Does anyone know when we last won the free kick count by 10 or more? Wish L2R2R was still around

What About Me by Moving Pictures could be appropriate too.
I think we could bring the unwashed around with one of these piping through the PA as the great warriors of truth and justice enter the arena.
Thanks! Can you pull up the number of times other clubs have won by 10 or more since then?
Nah, umpires song has to be “You’re An Ass hole” by Denis LearyBlinded by the light by Manfred Mann comes immediately to mind.
Yeah they're all over and we're getting done, but FMD, what a gutless suckhole of a pack of umps for not paying that free to jack.
WE WERE BEATEN BY A BETTER SIDE.
But FMD, Collingwood have a green light to drop the ball.

We can't really blame the umpires for the overall appalling performance by the Tigers tonight.
I'm not, did you see the caps? I think thats my inaugural use of caps.
Sorry mate, I missed your post so was not answering it, just making a comment
I thought the umpiring tonight was actually pretty good. There are always going to be mistakes but for once, I was Ok with both the interpretation of some rules given the conditions and I thought the consistency was pretty good as well.
But I do think what tonight's umpiring shows is that the AFL has a fundamental problem that is going to be very hard to fix.
The conditions tonight made the game slower and more contested. It would have reduced the spectacle for anyone watching from a neutral viewpoint, but I also got the impression that this made umpiring easier.
The AFL seems hellbent on taking the game the other way. Faster and less contested. So the problem is that if what I surmise is true, umpiring standards will only keep getting worse the more the AFL meddles with things.
My sample size is appallingly small, I acknowledge that.

Throwing is huge issue in the game..it was funny that Between Michelle & Adams who threw the ball more but the only time The commentators picked it up was when Graham threw it out.
I lost count how many times Collingwood defenders just released the ball and it was called play on.
4 umpires no improvement.
Still missing howlers..nakas is being held play on.
Baker & Pickett are decapitated, play on.
Crisp buries his head in nakas guts ball up.

The non free to Jack at the end of the first Q was a doozy.
My favourite though was in the second, throw in their FP, Degoey tries to break through the pack, it was good play mind you, breaks one tackle, swats off another, then runs into a third gang tackle which stops him. Ball up!
