I'm okay with giving the Bulldogs a 5 goal head start if the game is fairly umpired. Basically what happened in our final round clash.

So now a team getting 8 more free kicks is fairly umpired? Funny that.

I’m sorry I used the shorthand of “soccer” when I should have said “non-traditional AFL background”.
2016 Census says 55% of Footscray residents were born overseas. 63% had both parents born overseas. That is a huge potential growth market of people for whom Aussie Rules is not their automatic first sporting choice.

Keep advocating for unfair umpiring instead of protecting the fairness of the game.

PORT Adelaide's rescue package soared to $14 million yesterday with more grants from the AFL and SANFL.
Grants increase Port rescue deal to $14m

Almost like I think fairness should be policed across the competition. My own team included.

Agree. AFL should do what ever it takes to ensure fairness.

Merely pointing out the hypocrisy my man. You can pretend you haven't benefited from umpiring or rescue packages. But the internet never forgets. Maybe come complain when Dogs actually get the benefit of the umpiring against your mob, though judging by the last 5 years, it won't be anytime soon.
5th for total distributions in 2020. Yikes getting awkward for you with the financial posts.
Unsure if reading comprehension, writing or maths is a high priority in Footscray but 13>11 mate
Lol self ownage is strong here

Not sure if you watched that game but Bulldogs had more frees for the majority of the match until the last quarter when they have gave Port a bunch of free kicks, advantage which shouldn't even count as a FK for.
As opposed to numbnuts on bigfooty who reckons their is a coordinated umpiring conspiracy for the Dogs, but can't be arsed finding qualifiable evidence to back his claims up?
Lol your main argument wasn’t ranking distributions. Your argument was handouts and assistance by the league in order to stand on two feet. Which we’ve both received. Once you got busted on that, you turned to last years distributions by the league to try defend yourself.
Work out what your main argument is homor and get back to us.
or just maybe it is playing to the interpretation.
Respecting the rules etc.. you know things that lead to less umpire involvement.
Unless you can prove a conspiracy (and clearly no-one has been able to), the only logical conclusion is that the Bulldogs play within the current interpretation more effectively.
It also needs to be acknowledged that on the whole the Bulldogs do not receive more frees, but they do concede less.
That actually indicates they are better at the things they can control, such as high or late tackles.

Are you saying you can’t determine how the umpiring is solely from free kick counts?
Ah. So you agree that in actually watching a game, a different story can be told in regards to a free kick differential?
