What's with the stupid amount of free kicks we've been giving away lately?
Free kick counts in our last 7 games ...
v Bulldogs (lost 19-26)
v Collingwood (won 19-17)
v Adelaide (lost 20-27)
v St Kilda (lost 19-28)
v Melbourne (lost 18-26)
v North Melbourne (lost 22-28)
v West Coast (lost 16-22)
So we've lost the free kick count in 6 of our past 7 games and conceded 26 or more free kicks in 5 of our last 7 games. Surely this is not par for the course?
We can sit here and say things like, "maybe our tackling technique needs to be better" or "we need to reflex give more", but we're all aware that every team gets leeway on stuff like that in one way or another.
Our mids seemed like they were on a hiding to nothing in the tackle today, and some of the decisions against Ryder for merely being superior to Roughead were diabolical.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
