Re: Free kicks v WCE
So will Richo / Lethlean / Summers take a stand and demand an explanation?
Or will we just roll over like pathetic pansies and just cop it yet again?

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Free kicks v WCE
I see no problem the umpires are doing exactly what the AFL want and that’s keep WC winning.

We may as well bring the vasaline every time we come to Perth. The umpires are doing what the AFL wants and if we dare complain we will be punished.

Re: Free kicks v WCE
We have a bad habit of hanging on to opposition players when flying for marks or trying to spoil. A little tug of the jumper here a grab of the arm there. It’s unnecessary and sure to be pinged in the West where the Eagles are pretty well cosied up to the umpires. A lot of iffy ones went West Coasts’ way. Sometimes we make it too easy for umpires to decide against us.

Re: Free kicks v WCE
Maybe why Perth sides have failed in the big dance. Come to the MCG after home finals, don't get the usual gifts and become confused. WC and Freo should ask umpires boss to have umps use level playing field approach occasionally to get the feel of it.

Re: Free kicks v WCE
I posted this in July 2016. Nothing has changed. Biggest travesty in the AFL.
In the last ten years West Coast Eagles :
First or second in 'Free Kicks For" every year except one when they were fourth.
Last or second last in "Free Kicks Against" every year bar one. The least free kicks against an astonishing six times in ten years. What are the odds in an 18 team competition?
And those stats are for all games. Imagine how it looks if you only take their home games into account.
This from the Hun last year :
"The Eagles have won a staggering 349 more free kicks than they have conceded in the past five years — a differential three times bigger than their nearest rival.
But it’s at Subiaco, at the aptly nicknamed “House of Pain”, where West Coast gets the biggest advantage from whistleblowers.
Since the start of 2011, the Eagles have lost the free kick count in only four of 46 matches on home soil against interstate sides — a success rate of 91 per cent.
Incredibly, West Coast is also one of only two clubs to win more free kicks than it loses on the road, where it boasts a +63 free kick differential."
The umpires boss at the time, Wayne Campbell when asked about it said,
“The answer is, I don’t know. There’s just got to be a combination of things. Perhaps it’s the style of play, the crowd, winning games or that home sides win more than they lose. They must be disciplined in either not giving away free kicks or getting free kicks because it happens away from home as well.”
That's it Wayne. They're disciplined. Nothing to do with the umpires being intimidated by the crowd.
No way there's a massive issue with the bias towards WCE at home. Move along. Nothing to see. Jaysus.....look at these stats.
Free kick differential stats for 2011 - 2015 :
West Coast Eagles +349
Carlton +112
Port Adelaide +107
North Melbourne +76
Adelaide Crows +48
Richmond +37
Collingwood +17
Western Bulldogs-8
Geelong Cats -23
GWS Giants -25
Sydney Swans -26

Re: Free kicks v WCE
Yeah but, being bent over and coping it up the but from maggots one of which was a female maggot is a just a wee bit too much for me.
Especially when she went around shaking hands with wet toast players after the game.
