Last 5 minutes Carlton player (Tuohy?) takes on the tackler, gets tackled 360 deg. and play on, even though it was a clear holding the ball, then Marc Murphy holds McVeigh at a stoppage and gets the free..
Carlton getting the rub of the green with the umps...

Free Kick count says itself. Carlton 14, Swans 6. That and poor kicking are costing us the game.

And i think Ellard goal in 1st, you see O'Keefe being tackled without the footy.

Yeah that looked suss, the only thing I can think of to cause play on was that he may have had his hands on the ball and when he got tackled, released the ball and played for the free. Would like to look at that one again, first thought was it should've been a free though.

Not whinging, hoping Carlton win to be honest so we jump the Swans on the ladder but I just don't like one-sided umpiring.
I'm just calling it as I see it.
the murph,mcveigh one - mcveigh had his back to the ball with no interest in anything but stopping murphy - correct free
the mark should have been paid to okeefe

Don't bother with explaining the reality of the situation, Murphy is a stager around here
Waite isn't playing, genius. Still upset?

You can't turn your back on the play and make your sole focus blocking your opponent's run. When is that not a free kick?
16-6..

Well he just stood there not moving, Murphy ran directly into him and wrapped his arms around him while McVeigh just stood there, could've easily avoided contact with him.

Gotta love the group think that suggests teams should get equal amounts of frees.
The fact that they so often do is the biggest indication of bias umpiring decisions, not the other way around.

Can't watched the game as it isn't on in Perth but in all honesty, would Sydney be winning if they didn't have these so called shocking umpires and if Sydney got a bit more accurate ?

I personally don't think free kick counts need to be equal, just that the decisions should be consistent and fair, a few dodgy decisions seem to be going the way of the Blues. If they were going the way of the Swans my opinion wouldn't change at all.

Probably not, Carlton definitely deserve to be winning, playing much better football.

Yes, 2 or 3 carlton goals have come from free kicks being their or not paid or in the lead up to the goal.

I think the problem is that everyone's comparing the wrong numbers. Yes, Carlton is 21 - 8 ahead in free kicks. But Sydney is 8 - 5 ahead of Marc Murphy, and obviously that needs to be squared up.
Edit: Six.

Murphy yanked from the ball without it, 30 out directly in front, no free. Yarran puts his hand on Jetta's shoulder - free kick and goal.
