When they paid that deliberate rushed behind against Bonner I raged and switched off the TV. If Bonner had of kept the ball in play I would bet my bottom dollar the commentators would have said something along the lines of "Dont these players even know the rules. You can rush a behind if your under pressure hurhurhur"What was going on with those dills today? Were they told to keep the game close today?
10 vs 22 at half time and a bit of a square up in the last saw us lose the free kick count 23 v 36.
When was the last game with 59 free kicks paid, Did the umpires think it was an exhibition game and they were showing the Chinese how good they are??
Scrap the umps and players call their own frees like we used to at lunch time at school!Scrap the umpires and start again

We seemed to do (did) Just fine then...Scrap the umps and players call their own frees like we used to at lunch time at school!
That was an absolutely correct decision. Happened right in front of me as they say. It was the exact scenario that rule was brought in for.When they paid that deliberate rushed behind against Bonner I raged and switched off the TV ...
I think they umpired to the conditions very well.Way too much umpire influence today for a wet weather game
I’m certainly not saying that all umpires are bad, but there are enough ex fit AFL players who would be able to slip straight into umpiring. Probably wouldn’t get overawed by a screaming 50,000 crowd either.
The Carlton game in 2015 was astonishing, I was thinking the footy media would be all over it and we heard diddely squat. As the game became close and the clock ran down the umpires blunted our attack and continually took possession off of us. I'm still angry about that one.

Yes frees per quarter and in forward or back fifty would be telliing.What you'll never be able to statistically allow for is the behavior modification that results.
Port get a bunch of frees against early so go back into their shell yet still lose the free kick count.
Oppo gets away with blind murder so keep pushing the barrow yet still wins it.

Could have done it better. Tap the ball up in the air towards the behind post and then otherwise run it around the boundary line or fumble it over the goal line if he's still under pressure.The Carlton game in 2015 was astonishing, I was thinking the footy media would be all over it and we heard diddely squat.

No it's not. It was brought in to stop defenders walking the ball over the goal line as a time wasting tactic after Hawthorn turned the 08 grand final into a farce doing it.That was an absolutely correct decision.

It's been a typical afl reactive over reaction that's been adjudicated sporadically and inconsistently ever since. I have no stats to back it up but I reckon it's been used against us more often than every other club combined since being brought in
