How on earth do you 'win' the Free Kick differential in that scenario??

You sure you're reading that right? You think having more uncontested possessions gets you more free kicks?

If you were a true supporter you'd know.
Obviously you aren't, clearly you don't.

Was going to say something along the same lines. BigFooty is at best 10% interesting chat and 90% batshit insanity.
So just to re-cap, you're certain that the Bulldogs are getting favoured and your reasons are:
- they have a positive free kick differential
-it's not hard to believe the AFL wanted the Bulldogs to win over Sydney
- the AFL probably didn't want to see Buddy win a flag at Sydney
Quite a convincing argument.
Make 100 tackles in a GF and go -12 FK diff and only 8 FK for the whole game.
The tackle count is hardly relevant and there was only a differential of 9 (101-92)
Lucky you got the 8 free kicks because they weren't all justifiable.
How did Naismith get a free for putting his foot into Johannisen in the first quarter?
It is done and dusted.
We won and I love it every time I watch the replay.

2012 GF you laid 110 tackles and went -11 FK diff and only got 10 FK for the whole game. Could potentially be a AFL conspiracy against you, or could be that you just need to stick your tackles better.
2016*
That is an interesting pick up.
A grandfinal for Sydney where they are significantly behind in the free kick differential.
Longmire has coached Sydney to 3 GF and had a significant differential against in 2 of them. Could it have something to do with coaching?
Note the other GF had 18 frees each but was an absolute smashing of Sydney, so the increased frees gave them no joy.
how often do you watch the replay?

I think tonight confirms that the swan's actually lost the 2016 gf by selecting Gary 'Mr September' Rohan, and not because of the umpires performance....
Hopefully your fans scare them into playing fair! Go Port!

Hopefully a massive discrepancy in free kick differential tonight with some absolute howlers thrown in. Can't wait!

Do you mean Port receiving the most free kicks of any team in the league?

Port has won the free kick count both times they’ve played the Bulldogs this year.

Depends whether Gil has opened his envelopes from Whitten Oval yet.

Which agenda is that? Giving you every advantage, a week off, sleeping in your own beds, free to wander the city. While we are locked in hotel rooms, not allowed to train, tested. That's some agenda for Port.

Once again, the umpires get the Bulldogs over the line and into the prelim.

-8 free kicks in a 70 point prelim win. Can this thread be deleted yet?
