POLL: When Will Collingwood win a 'Free Kick Count'

[leondavis21]

yer but we get a lot junk time frees at the end as well which evens the frees a bit more. usually the damage is done. its the consistency that pisses me off. they pay something to the opposition and then the same thing happens to collingwoood and nothing!!!

they actaully really cheat week in week out!!

its disguisting!!!

lets sue the afl for fraud!!!! haha

I voted this round. Everyone can see after the Max Rooke incident and the Rocca free kick what is going on... its undeniable now.

I dont care about winning the free kick count, I only care about an evenly umpired game - even if we lose the count, as long as the same calls as our opposition.

To all you trolls out there... WTF are you in here for?

 

[thatday]

True, some consistency really wouldn't go astray.

 

[pied_piper]

whens the next inter-club match Because thats the next time I reckon we'll win it

 

[Snag Breac]

In the year 2525
If man is still alive...........

As much as we do get killed by the umps every week, we seriously need to stop complaining about it! its getting beyond a joke now guys. Theres been about several threads about the umpires this week! WTF? i could have sworn this forum is to talk about Collingwood not the umpires. If we won against Essendon i bet there wouldnt be half of the amount of complaints we've had this week.

Everybody pay a considerable amount of attention to the number of bulls**t free kicks that go our way when we are up in the last quarter and are a certainty to win or lose.. They even out the tally as they know the game is done and dusted and they have no way of changing the outcome. I wish there was a stat showing frees from every quarter. Last quarter would take up more than the first 3 together..

The answer is round 19 versus Adelaide, they are the only side with a bigger difference in free kicks total then us, although we have the worst win/loss record.

Adelaide Frees/Against = 86/107

Collingwood F/A = 72/90

Is it just me or are the 2 "toughest" clubs in the league being punished for their style of play and hard tackling.

I'm more worried about where we are paid the free kicks. On the weekend we had a total of 8 or 9 free kicks, all in the backline or midfield, not one in the forward 50. Your telling me that the Essendon backline are that fair that they wouldn't have infringed once in a marking contest! Yet Essendon scored 2 goals from free kicks in their 50.

we need to seriously stop whinging about it, they are highly paid professionals who need to start playing as a team and start winning matches, I would much rather us winning games without biased help from the maggots.
and who says we need to be equal or better on the free kick count anyway just pay the ones which are there end of story.

That's what everyone is trying to say.... We don't get the obvious free kicks where our opponents do.

maybe when you stop being weak like josh Fraser and get your heads over the footy and first to the ball.. also discipline wouldn't go a stray and for Christ sake stop winging like the people that run your bloody club its getting old

The Carlton supporters i know go off their head when they win free kick counts regularly. We just want a fair go in our games. The umpires set the scene from pretty much the first bounce of every game we play. When 80% of the football world hates the Pies, don't tell me umpires are any different. Its a cancer that spreads from fans to media to umpires. If people can't see that then they have their heads buried in the sand or refuse to believe the truth.

People think where just complaining f.e but we also didnt win a free kick count in the Nab Cup either so thats been 9 matches that we havnt won a count

Geelong supporters have nothing to complain about they get there fair share just look at the Nab Cup Grandfinal what was it like 11 to 44

 

[DWil6]

Umm.. round 3 2009 we won the free kick count v Geelong......

(According to the AFL website.)

 

[Sloth]

This poll should be on the main board. It's not the number of frees paid against Collingwood, it's the number of frees FOR the Pies the the umpires conveniently miss.

All we want is a fair go.

You see, this is the insoluble dilemma faced by the players of the Collingwood football club. If they elect to put their heads over the ball they are generally punished via free kicks, now, if they elect not to go down that route then they are labelled with the 'soft tag'. It's a lose - lose situation.

for Christ sake stop winging like the people that run your bloody club its getting old

We are not winging nor is our great club. We are merely bringing a formal charge of wrongdoing against the AFL match officials.

Their you go FF 19 FA 17 "YOU WON"
