Just finished watching the Eagles-Swans game and something's gotta be done about this. I know free kick stats don't always give a true reflection of the umpiring but West Coast got 35 frees to 18 with McLaren paying 14 to West Coast and just two to Sydney (and they actually evened up slightly towards the end as well). I'm sure a lot of others will agree that the Fremantle-Richmond game earlier this year was one of the most disgraceful/biased displays of umpiring they've ever seen. I'm not saying umpires don't do the same elsewhere but it's so bad in WA it's laughable and it's time something was done. Doesn't matter who it is - when teams play West Coast or Fremantle there they basically go over expecting to be crucified and 90% of the time it happens.

Definitely something wrong with the tap water in the separate country which calls itself Western Australia.
