Hawthorn's lowest point is 1925 through to 1957. 32 Years without finals including 10 wooden spoons.

Riolis push was far more deliberate than Daniher

Three soft free kicks to the Tigers and it's game over. Thanks for ruining the best final in a decade umpires!

Do you mean the 2008 when Geelong: were reigning champions had a record 9 All-Australians in their team had the reigning Brownlow medallist (Bartel) had the reigning Players, Coaches and Media MVP (Ablett) had a win-loss record of 21W-1L had the 3rd highest percentage since WW2 of 161.8%...

Western Bulldogs have had a positive free kick diffential every year since 2013. So yes, a decade.

Mate I do work in data analysis and one important aspect is not to jump to conclusions like 'it's most likely game style related'. The data can't tell you that. A statistical trend over 9 years is definitely a systemic issue. What systemic issue? Who knows. Maybe all the umpires are WB...

Did they? Well I guess without the centre bounce there can be no goals. lol

You must lack reading comprehension. When a team has a positive free kick differential in 9 consecutive years and has topped the differential charts in 5 of the past 7 years....It's not a one-off anomaly. It's a statistical trend and a systematic issue. If the AFL want to recruit me to look...

Read the thread mate.

By the way...Weightman only 1 touch tonight wow

That's not what I said. Just saying that systematic issues have been demonstrated before.

Dunno. Ask the West Duck Eagles of the 2000/10s. They were the previous umpiring darlings, especially at Subiaco. Constant backlash led to a change in how they roster umpires, providing real rotation...

Still our second highest SC scorer haha

Across one game - No Across multiple seasons - There's an issue They haven't had a negative free kick differential since 2013.

Hawthorn vs Western Umpires tonight at Marvel Stadium
