agreed... whenever ive watched a great game, and noted afterwards that even the umpiring was ok, the free kick count is always low...Saints Premiers 2008 wrote:agreed, less umpires less whistle blowlingrodgerfox wrote:For once I'd just like to see a contest or two without a whistle being blown.
But alas, I won't.
Which is why I watched the cricket instead of the footy on Friday night.
And which is why footy barely interests me these days.
even though its great getting goals from free kicks in our forward 50 it just takes out a contest that makes this game a helluva lot more interesting
Often after checking the stats, there seems to be a direct correclation between low number of frees and good quality games...
I'd prefer them to miss free kicks consistently than pay ones that arnt there... if that makes sense....
