The Curnow red carpet treatment and the ability of Cripps to get every single line ball call of holding the ball his way can only be explained as bias. There is no other logical explanation.
The following is 100% true...
Most of the frees paid to Curnow would be paid 3/10 to most other forwards. (McKay excluded)
Cripps is able to drop it in a tackle or throw it and 7/10 opponents would be penalised (Pendles excluded)
Anyone that thinks otherwise is either a Carlton fan or an idiot. Quite possibly both
Stars getting the rub of the green and rival fans whinging about it has been going on forever.
People who believe that umpiring decisions are determined by a conspiracy between AFL executives and umpires are paranoid fantasists.
Every game has multiple players throwing the ball and questionable frees in marking contests. That you’re obsessed with Carlton and get worked up by people who don’t agree with your pathetic obsession is sad.
