It’s a discipline thing..

Kinda surprised we are last but the pies, dees and lions make the finals for the freecup.

Something more then just umpire bias in those figures.

Could argue the side applying the most pressure is likely to give away a higher number of frees.

That's not to say the umpires aren't incompetent. It’s just to get the opportunity to make more decisions and get it wrong.

I think it was Campereale talking stats on 5aa and made the point about pressure, he also said that’s why our poor contested possession means nothing as free kicks factor into the stat. Stephen moronic Crowe said something like “do ya reckon Ken has them too wound up”. I think it’s pressure and youth.
