Gotta get JJ & Adams to freo.

18-22 (Pav's last game)
14-6 (Etihad Rd 1 2016)
25-11 (Etihad, 2015 - Fyfe won us this, umps still reported him for a trip)
19-4 (Etihad, 2014, 4 free kicks, four, FOUR, not 14)
27-19 (Rd 2, 2013, 7 players gave at least 2 free kicks away).

Stoppage based games are boring to watch as well. The AFL has changed the rules to try and kill of that game plan, which makes Ross Lyon's persistence with it all the more bamboozling.
I'm not sure we did that deliberately. If we did, then we should be ashamed for not going for the throat when we were given the opportunity.
The deliberate out of bounds & punching over the goal line rules, are going haywire.
I always believe in umpiring in the "spirit of the game". Forget the technicalities.
Last night there was a scrimmage, player grabs ball in the middle of a pack and hacks it downfield. The ball goes over the boundary line and is called deliberate. Fair go, a hacked kick from a pack is not deliberate.
Inside the 10 metre square with an opponent on your tail, punching the ball through, is being judged deliberate. The rule was NOT brought in for this type of defensive tactic.

well I believe it is just a small piece picture regarding rule changes and tweaking over the years
The AFL wants more goals / scoring per game = more TV ads after each goal = more bucks..
the game is being manipulated and I am more than a little pissed off with it all
What's the problem?
McGovern just put them in front?

Haha Eddie Betts is that good. Wow
You are ******* kidding me
Push in the back my arse
Push in the back my arse
That stupid maggot should never umpire again
Just won a good contest, turned and hit Eddie on a good lead.
Surely the ump gets dropped for that!
The only possible decision was holding the ball.
How can you possibly pay a kick the other way?
And two clear frees to Adelaide missed and a hawthorn get a goal.

Puopolo just runs in and bear hugs Tahlia in the marking contest and it's play on, goal Hawks
This can't be surprising anymore. SadlyPuopolo just runs in and bear hugs Tahlia in the marking contest and it's play on, goal Hawks

Yeah and the clear push in the back against Douglas before the ball came in.
I can't work out how Hawthorn and the Bulldogs get looked after so well...It's a farce
