I'm not into umpire bashing or favouritism.
Perhaps we do a lot of holding in the backline because we are undersized. I can look into this. Any other thoughts? And Richmond !!

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Richmond have won a few premierships while being at the bottom of that ladder.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
We dominate the bottom of these ladders yearly. Actually a joke.
Been the difference in minimum 3 games this season the blatant bias.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Even Doggy supporters are taking the p1ss over how good they get it.
They've not been on the wrong side of the ledger since 2015. Only the Bulldogs can get more frees for over in the West, in Sydney, down in Geelong and against Collingwood at the G.
Incorrect disposal is not high on the umpire's agenda.

Maybe we need to get their throwing and ducking coach instead of bitching and moaning.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Mon 26 Jul 2021 7:25pm Even Doggy supporters are taking the p1ss over how good they get it.

Don't reckon frees are going to be in the positive with Long in the side1

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Maybe the umps are just trying to even the ledger as historically we’ve been a very looked after team?

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
If they’re cheating against us now it means they were cheating for us even more in the past.
Can’t have it both ways.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Gershwin thanks for the great info.
Could you post that on a few TV footy shows as I am sick and tired of the bulldogs/Carlton supports winging about free kicks it has cost us games an they have one a few because of it.
Seems like we are always getting shafted by Ups but we all know its not the free kicks you get its where you get them and how many goals from them ,I be most of ours are in the midfield and defence. thanks

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Don't you ever criticize Curly....of course we are consistently on the wrong side of the ledger (not always) when it comes to umpires and Dogs have been historically on the right side. You are blindly extreme in protecting the umps more than Curly is criticizing them.

Entertaining game
Dogs deserved there victory but they won the free kick count by 14 . It was a effing joke , got so many soft frees
Just makes me jealous although as the saints so often get the rough end of the pineapple, however on the odd occassion when we do happen to get a lot of soft ones I feel somewhat embarrassed.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Believe me, my Bulldog mates don't. It's become expected now. They feel miffed if the frees are somewhat even. I was on a WhatsApp group with them on the weekend & at different stages they moaned about the umpiring during the Melbourne game.mr six o'clock wrote: ↑Mon 26 Jul 2021 9:35pmWatched dogs v demons on the weekendGhost Like wrote: ↑Mon 26 Jul 2021 7:25pm Even Doggy supporters are taking the p1ss over how good they get it.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
In the last 4 seasons Richmond have finished 17th, 13th, 18th and 18th on the ‘free kick’ ladder, all while winning 3 premierships.
What do we make of that?

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
I've never watched any of those final series and thought the umpires influenced the results. I cannot say that about the Dogs 2016 series.

Re: Free Kick Differential 2021
Needs to be explained
How the dogs have twice as many free kicks as the next highest
They get an armchair ride
