The truth re the umpires

[robiecampbellbrown]

Yes and no. I'm amused by the feeble mindedness of it all, but I'm becoming rather fed up with trying to read Facebook, or a thread on this forum, and every third post is "Free kick Hawthorn". It's giving me the shits to be honest.

Free kick Hawthorn

 

[Changa10]

They used to do this and actually made it public until it revealed bias (mostly towards Victorian clubs). The AFL then stopped releasing the data. Funny that!

Ah, the true agenda reveals itself.....

For this alone, your brother deserves a good slap.

Only a slap? That plus a good foot up the arse ...

Yer, fair call.

More proof!

Re the deliberate out of bounds rule:

"Hawthorn have been penalised less than any other side, having conceded just two free kicks for the year."

Just going back to that St Kilda win.. the two no 15 calls that were made which resulted in a goal to Lewis occurred with no less than 16 MINUTES ON THE CLOCK!! 16 MINUTES!!! And the decision to bring back the free kick to Puopolo as there was no real advantage (which has never ever happened to any other club apparently) occurred with 6 minutes on the clock.

But apparently the whinging is all about Hawthorn getting 50/50 calls at the death.. **** off...

Well, you know how footy supporters are these days ... and some commentators ..... you only need to see one poor decision, it could be half way through the 1st quarter, and after that every free is proof the umpires hate you, and they have cost you the game. It is infantile, but then again I can't blame footy supporters when you consider the standard and childish attitudes of the media.

If we don't win by big margin over GWS then this "FREE KICK HAWTHORN MEMES" will continue and even the footy show with that Fat bloke saying FREE KICK HAWTHORN all night..
The boys should be getting angry with all these jokes

Let's all remember that free we got in the first quarter against Freo last year.
Changed the momentum and was why Freo lost apparently, proof the AFL wanted Hawks in the GF
