This round so far there have been 42 free kicks in total in the Hawthorn/Swans game, 36 in GWS/West Coast, 42 in Carlton/Essendon, 44 in Gold Coast/Melbourne, 38 in the Showdown, 36 in Western Bulldogs/Brisbane, 39 in Fremantle/St Kilda and 52 at 19 minutes of the Richmond/North Melbourne game. So that's 329 in nearly 8 games with an average of probably just over 41 a game. Over-officiated? I would say so but I wouldn't put this on the umpires but the rules committee who tell them what to call and what to look for.

I think both North and Collingwood have to win for us to drop out.
No, both Geelong and Collingwood started today 4 points behind us and with a better percentage. So whoever wins there will take over from us. It is only the Roos game where we will not drop down if Richmond win but will if North win. AFL.com.au now has a live ladder whereas before it would not change till the match was over.

Essendon still beat us and the Crows.
GC hurt by injuries.
There's no helping the Saints, Lions and Blues. Just shit clubs.
Saints and Lions I'd be sad to see the decline of, Carlton have done everything to themselves, they have had every advantage possible and blown it. They are the kid who goes to St. Peter's, has a guaranteed job in daddies law firm and still ends up a smack head.

Lou Codge is an awful, awful special comments man. Prepping this guy for a permanent future role in the media is the biggest, worst example of jobs for the boys I can remember. He's an idiot.
Worse than Ling? Wow, and thanks for the warning lol

I feel absolutely nothing for St. Kilda.
