On the back of discussion about West Coast’s home umpiring advantage Big Footy moderator George calculated the free kick differential over the last 15 years. George discovered the Eagles sit at the very top of the list with a whopping 919 more free kicks than their opponents.

North Melbourne, Carlton and the Western Bulldogs are the other teams that have had the rub of the green in the 21st century. Coming as a surprise to anyone but their supporters, two of the most successful teams of that period, Hawthorn and Sydney, sit in 17th and 18th place with 348 and 516 less free kicks than their opposition, respectively.
