I'm not into umpire bashing or favouritism.

Perhaps we do a lot of holding in the backline because we are undersized. I can look into this. Any other thoughts? And Richmond !!

[The_Dud]

Richmond have won a few premierships while being at the bottom of that ladder.

Says it all really.

[CURLY]

We dominate the bottom of these ladders yearly. Actually a joke.

Been the difference in minimum 3 games this season the blatant bias.

[Ghost Like]

Even Doggy supporters are taking the p1ss over how good they get it.

They've not been on the wrong side of the ledger since 2015. Only the Bulldogs can get more frees for over in the West, in Sydney, down in Geelong and against Collingwood at the G.

Incorrect disposal is not high on the umpire's agenda.

Maybe we need to get their throwing and ducking coach instead of bitching and moaning.
Don't reckon frees are going to be in the positive with Long in the side1

[desertsaint]

blue = good, red/black = evil

Maybe the umps are just trying to even the ledger as historically we’ve been a very looked after team?

So your saying there cheating.

If they’re cheating against us now it means they were cheating for us even more in the past.

Can’t have it both ways.

If you’re admitting they’ve cheated for us much more than against

I haven’t watched the games from 1901 to 1934. Can you send me a link.

[Saints58]

Gershwin thanks for the great info.
Could you post that on a few TV footy shows as I am sick and tired of the bulldogs/Carlton supports winging about free kicks it has cost us games an they have one a few because of it.
Seems like we are always getting shafted by Ups but we all know its not the free kicks you get its where you get them and how many goals from them ,I be most of ours are in the midfield and defence. thanks

Don't you ever criticize Curly....of course we are consistently on the wrong side of the ledger (not always) when it comes to umpires and Dogs have been historically on the right side. You are blindly extreme in protecting the umps more than Curly is criticizing them.

Watched dogs v demons on the weekend
Entertaining game
Dogs deserved there victory but they won the free kick count by 14 . It was a effing joke , got so many soft frees
Just makes me jealous although as the saints so often get the rough end of the pineapple, however on the odd occassion when we do happen to get a lot of soft ones I feel somewhat embarrassed.

Unfortunately facts don’t care about opinions.

Believe me, my Bulldog mates don't. It's become expected now. They feel miffed if the frees are somewhat even. I was on a WhatsApp group with them on the weekend & at different stages they moaned about the umpiring during the Melbourne game.

[The_Dud]

In the last 4 seasons Richmond have finished 17th, 13th, 18th and 18th on the ‘free kick’ ladder, all while winning 3 premierships.

What do we make of that?

I've never watched any of those final series and thought the umpires influenced the results. I cannot say that about the Dogs 2016 series.

we gave away a lot of frees early doors this season in ruck contests before Paddy and Marshall returned.

[B.M]

Needs to be explained

How the dogs have twice as many free kicks as the next highest

They get an armchair ride
