LIONS for me. Close.
Can't beat Eagles fab four
It would bring a tear to my eyeMitch Lewis basically the only player they have out injured. Be a shame if they misjudge their actual list position based upon a crazy season and sell the farm for Barrass and Battle.
Nah I reckon I'll back West Coast in hereBlues are lucky they have the Eagles this week. I think literally anyone besides Richmond and WCE have a 5+ goal win.
Richmond would still get spanked, and WCE find new and exciting ways to be shit.
Actually put Essendon on the list too, they love an almighty bottle job at the moment.
Know nothing of betting, could you have a bet each way, for shits + gigglesNah I reckon I'll back West Coast in here
Another career to finish without a finals win
Poor Hep walked in a couple of years before the drugs sagaJoel played 40 finals in 355 games.
Heppel played 100 less games and 40 less Finals. Feel bad for Heppel as he really dug in for the club and they gave him donuts really
When Cats supporters get mad about the team not performing I understand it .. but **** me we as supporters have been blessed over the journey. Luv this club..
Go Catters
I've been trying to reign myself in lately as a spoiled brat supporter and be more grateful than ever. We keep competitng year after year while other clubs are just literally making up competition numbers and breaking hearts.Joel played 40 finals in 355 games.

Would've been a good candidate to head to a team like GWS when it all went down.Poor Hep walked in a couple of years before the drugs saga
He's probably the final link to that era
Surprised he didn't leave a few years ago actually
These kinds of stats are interesting. Thanks for sharing. It'd be easy for us as Cats fans to think we're hard done by. Personally I can see that the way some players play means they give away more frees than others. And some players move and interact in ways that mean they get more frees.Just looking at the top 10 goal kickers this year interesting stats:
1. Charlie Curnow: 56 Goals, FF - 28, FA - 11
2. Jesse Hogan: 53 Goals, FF - 22, FA - 5
3. Ben King: 46 Goals, FF - 21, FA - 15
4. Harry McKay: 44 Goals, FF - 25, FA - 20
5. Jake Waterman: 44 Goals, FF - 10, FA - 4
6. Josh Treacy: 42 Goals, FF - 17, FA - 10
7. Nick Larkey: 39 Goals, FF - 22, FA - 12
8. Jeremy Cameron: 39 Goals, FF - 8, FA - 20
9. Joe Danniher: 39 Goals, FF - 20, FA - 22
10. Bayley Frisch: 37 Goals, FF - 13, FA - 17
10. Jamarra Ugle-Hagen: 37 Goals, FF - 13, FA - 21
10. Kyle Langford: 37 Goals, FF - 14, FA - 15
10. Tyson Stengle: 37 Goals, FF - 11, FA - 8
One forward in particular is having a rough time with the umps

I don’t believe in umpiring conspiracies at all. I do think it’s about how players play and how the make sure the ump sees the free.These kinds of stats are interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Joel Selwood was an example of the latter. He went in hard and got infringed and rewarded. Similar happened to Bruhn just the other day. Cameron may have been a bit unlucky this year. And Curnow (for example) may have got some generous calls. It's a bit pretty big difference for sure. But I tend not to see it so much as evidence of an inherent bias or conspiracy (not saying you are) but rather as a clue that there's something Cameron needs to do to iron out of his game. He always gets people high when tackling them, for example. It's frustrating to see as a fan and I'm sure that's one thing that contributes to these numbers.
Melbourne's packed up for the season
It's true, he does get caught a bit. But yeah, he's definitely had some big 'frees for' missed recently.I don’t believe in umpiring conspiracies at all. I do think it’s about how players play and how the make sure the ump sees the free.
Selwood was very good at making sure the ump saw the high contact. P
Hawkins has never been one to get a lot of frees and maybe it’s harder to sell due to his size.
The frees against Cameron are more that he plays up the ground and often gets caught holding the ball.
They’ve definitely missed some big frees that were there for him though
It also has a fair bit to do with the size/strength of the player.I don’t believe in umpiring conspiracies at all. I do think it’s about how players play and how the make sure the ump sees the free.
