Geelong 26 frees to st Kilda s 14. Tell me again there’s no bias (unconscious or otherwise) by the umpires.

I watched the game, it was terrible. If the bias went the other way St Kilda win. Its what they pay and where they pay it that counts, not necessarily pure for and against. There was clear bias.

Two good games in a row.
If Brando keeps this up for the rest of the home and away season we could be taking Brownlow Brando

A-hole Football League admits (again!!!) the PITB decision at the Gabba was wrong just to shut things up through the media, but as usual, every thing stands as is.

If it's wrong, how about reversing the result you pricks!!

It’s football things are wrong every game and they won by 12 pts not 1.

This week would be a good time for a pro Tiger journo like Jon Ralph to bring up the Free kick differentials Tigers -33 Pies +88 If we get within 10 frees of Collingwood we probably consider it a win.

Last 2 questionable frees that gifted Brisbane 2 goals and the game. Had that free kick not been given, Brisbane wouldn't have won.

But then there was the Ben Brown free in a ruck contest just before that which gave North a goal. So many frees weren't frees in those last few minutes. Umps crapped themselves.

yep, that was a worse free than the Bears free. anyway the free was against Thompson. I am sure he has gotten away with so many 'accidental' knees and elbows over the years that he is still way in front.

Spot on the Brown free was a joke and North got a goal from it; worse than the other to Brisbane IMO. Yet no one in the media is talking about it?

The problem is umps are looking for the frees instead of the frees finding them.
