The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

Oh I agree regarding the conspiracy issue,

FWIW I think Footscray are EXTREMELY well-trained, nee The Best at manoeuvring their bodies at contests to draw frees, its not playing for frees, or even ducking, its positioning themselves to increase the chances of a free in a situation where the ball is still in dispute, Weightman let the cat out of the bag this week on SEN
So now, all that has to happen is for the other 17 coaches and their players to do the same and ba-boom, Dogs’ advantage is gone 🙁.
Now we’ll see a different ballgame 😎

Looks like nothing's changed. Today's count was WB 24 - Crows 10 and if you ignore out on the full frees it was a staggering 22-5!!!!
And we got to within a point! Needed one more free - bloody umpires, can’t depend on any of them 😡

There's certainly an aspect of this, but any other player/club in the history of the world that has manipulated like this has ultimately been called out and the umpires go hard the other way. It's strange it hasn't happened for them. And the FK counts ignore their throwing of the ball.

I agree it's obviously trained as you see, Treloar, Stringer etc continuing to do it after they leave the club.

Could be worse things to obsess over - like an incident from a football game five years ago that had no bearing on the result.

Good thing 99.9% of the football media and public agree it was relevant, indicative and that you’re a complete gibbon.
 
I can’t recall even a single member of the football media ever commenting on whether or not I’m a baboon.

Probably the meds...

But back to your evaluation- Greater concern- ‘Losing GF to influenced Umps’ versus the word ‘Tackle’

Nah....you’re still on the spectrum....
 
But...id1ot....the Crows don’t have a legendary history of Umpire favouritism...

If you wanna play with the big boys...you really are going to have to try harder....D Minus.
Except that the umpire hatred of us is equal to the favouritism to the dogs. Were as many frees behind as they are in front. But you don't see adelaide fans complaining that they got unfairly favourable treatment or people starting royal commission threads about the umpiring bias against us.
 
Did we win the free kick count again? FMD give it a rest please, you white maggots are actually holding us back.

These umpires are really ****ing us over again... I mean we've won the free kick count in every game for the last 6 years but only have 1 flag to show for it. Although it was a glorious day. Swans supporters seem to have taken it well and moved on.
