Adelaide CEO Andrew Fagan has vowed to speak with the AFL umpiring department over a lopsided 28-11 free kick count that cost his side in their 15-point loss to the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.
Feel your frustration @Adelaide_FC fans. To answer your Q’s-we will be speaking to umpiring department during week. https://t.co/Qtel9g0dtK

Crows skipper Taylor Walker was seen approaching the umpires as well at three quarter time following a raft of questionable decisions that went against the Crows.
Umpire Troy Pannell has been targeted in particular by Crows fans after he awarded 17 frees to 1 in favour of the Dogs.
I’m serious when I say Troy Pannell is a Dogs fan. Told me when he came to Alice Springs in approx 2008. #disgrace pic.twitter.com/rjSAFd93v7 — Jack Molloy (@jackomolloyo) May 7, 2016
Troy Pannell’s free kick count. 17-1.
SEVENTEEN TO ONE

Is that fair dinkum? Umpire Troy Pannell paid 17 frees to the Bullies, but only one to Adelaide tonight? Extraordinary if true. — Andy Maher (@AndyMaherSEN) May 7, 2016
What did you think of the umps on Saturday night? Did they cost the Crows? Debate it in the forum.
