Geez if you need any further evidence the umps hate WA and SA based clubs, there it is.

With 3 of the top 4 from the rugby states too.

Adelaide have had about 4 games now that they’ve lost by umpiring decisions that the AFL have later come out and said were wrong

Well yes. But those are moments rather than a sustained level of bias against. Not saying the umpiring has been good but I can't say I have ever really seen a sustained level of bias other than what the Eagles were getting at home back in the day.

At least the Crows have got the balls to question it and raise the issue .

Watch more Collingwood and Hawthorn games - they get sustained bias towards them most weeks.

That's not really true because the AFL came out with an unprompted statement first, giving the crows a right of reply. I guarantee they would not have made a statement if the AFL hadn't done so first.

It helps when the media doesn't stop banging on about it.

Yeah and it's been a while to now I think. Last year of the golden run was 2015. The Dogs have the biggest absolute difference I think (+112 in 2016) in recent history but statistically the most anomalous is West Coast in 2012: 2.6 standard deviations past the mean in their favour (2016 Dogs was 2.4).

Did you see the letter the Crows CEO wrote to the AFL ?
