Once again, the theory that all teams should get the same amount of freekicks comes to the fore.
Maybe Tarrant hasn't actually been infringed this season?
No, that would be too logical.

He hasn't received a free kick all year, let alone got a goal from one.

I suggest that considering Carlton are doing pretty well in hard ball gets in comparison to our overall possession count which is very low, we are pretty good at getting to the ball and the bottom of packs first.Unwritten_Law said:But I was playing around with the team/opponent totals difference table on footywire and Carlton have had an extra 34 free kicks than their opponents in 6 games
Talk about charity!
Since when has Carlton been a charity case to the AFL?
That's because you have a guy called clement in your backline and that's all he can do, chop peoples arms.Lockyer24 said:

That's a great screenshot.
I'm surprised Fletch didn't get suspended for six weeks on that evidence.

Wow, Melbourne have a good conversion rate from forward 50 frees while their opposition are very inaccurate. Also, don't give the Crows a free inside 50 because they never miss. Geelong, West Coast, Fremantle and Bulldogs kick 50% or less of their forward 50 shots on goals from frees.
The goals from frees stats are misleading, forward 50 free stats are much better.

You're ********ing kidding yourself aren't you?
He's had 2 frees against him all season (and I remember one was a soft in the back to Shannon Grant in the last quarter of round 4 - it was clearly not a free)

One response. Yeah, that's about my average.The Old Dark Navy's said:
Your conversion calculations aren't exactly right. For example, althouh Adelaide have 11 from 11, one game they were 5 from 7 and two matches they were 2 from 1. Because obviously you can kick a goal from a free kick that was awarded outside the 50m arc. But I'm being pedantic.
They are interesting stats though. Something interesting to note is that the Western Bulldogs are last in terms of all goals scored from free kicks (for and against) with only 13, however there have been more goals scored (187) in Western Bulldogs matches than any other team (Melbourne, with 185, are 2nd; Sydney, with 142, are 16th).
