Yes. I think conscious or even unconscious bias plays a very small part in our free kick-against count. I think home state bias (eg West Coast at home) exists to an extent.
The "whole umpires are killing us" trope is mildly amusing but becomes tedious after a while.
I still think Treloar throws the ball all the time though.
This is one of the many things that annoys me about the string of cliches that passes for modern football commentary. Every week Dusty gets HTB paid against him. His is a risk-taking creative and confident player. He takes the game on. Thus he often gets pinged for HTB. But because he is known for the "don't argue" you get the lazy, "geez you don't see that often, Dusty caught for HTB!!". Actually he has always been prone to it.
Similar to “you don’t often see Steele Sidebottom miss a target” and “unusual handball from Treloar”
Even if the Clangerfield 50m penalty was technically correct (ball not delivered to the free kick recipient) - how on earth was Lynch not entitled to a 50m penalty when he was having a shot from about 50m out and a Geelong player clearly encroached “the area”?
Shocking decisions - the fact we are talking about them is enough.
Danger dive.
Was it Selwood who threw the ball over his head on the southern stand wing late in the game that went straight to a Geelong player.
It’s the frees we don’t get that frustrates more when they give them to the opposition.

Ray is a fanboy.!
Never forget his blatant love fest for Buddy Franklin to single handedly keep them in the game. He was like a puppy humping buddies leg all night.. Bud would just ask for a free and he,d get one. Was blatantl and terrible officiating.
Same with Dangerflog, and same with Grundy

It was technically correct but Chambermaid was so slow with the signal that Houli assumed it was his as clearly wasn't a free to Clangerfield. If Chambermaid actually signalled the free kick at the same time as blowing the whistle instead of thinking like the show pony that he was then the players wouldn't have had to assume who's free it was.
How the one on Lynch was paid astounds me. Ryan was standing maybe 5-10m away from Lynch, clear sight, when Stewart comes from outside the protected area, straight through and actually blocked lynch from kicking. Astounding. Thankfully it didn't matter as Lynch found Prestia and he goaled but still.
Bugger - haven’t rewatched and wanted to think it was another RR shocker
Haven't watched the replay yet. But I'm pretty sure Duckwood has changed his name to Chuck. Some shocking double handed over the head throws last night were completely missed, not to mention the blatant 50 metre penalty that the Lynch man didn't receive.
I hope he(Razor) misses out on the GF on the crap he served up last night. Pathetic. Diving Dog Danger act all he said was push. He didnt specify player, thus the mixup. Technically the 50m was there but his error first that caused the confusing
I truly hope the AFL fine Danger and that other diving flog dog Miers who had 3 attempts to win the diving Gold medal but Danger won that win Razor holding a 10 sign

Pretty sure it was him, was staring at him waiting for the 50 that never came.
Actually didn't think they were bad apart from that and the Dangerfield shenanigans.
