Is this a record ?

Can anyone come up a higher free kick differential for an AFL/VFL game then the 23 to 1 tally during the third quarter of the West Coast game? Actually can anyone come up with a WA game where we finished in front in the free kick tally ? The crowd seems to umpire those games especially against the poorly supported (read MFC) clubs .

From 29 matches at Subiaco,

22-21 Round 21, 2007 vs Freo (lost by 59)

21-20, SF 2006 vs Freo (lost by 27)

21-11, R11 2004 vs Freo (won by 31)

29-20, R14 1995 vs Freo (won by 52)

32-24, R1 1991 vs WCE (lost by 79)

Also a couple of ties. We're up 4-3 at the WACA though if you're keen.

We gave away plenty but the general consensus from the MFC supporters at the game was that we weren't paid the ones we were due.

That was the great injustice and the reason for the massive gap. Not purely our poor tackling.

Some posters need to get their facts right about this topic.

The AFL is big on protecting the head and are happy to fiddle the rules to achieve that. Why then do they allow free kicks to be paid to players who deliberately duck and put their heads at risk? Surely this is encouraging dangerous behaviour.

Similarly though it happens less often, they seem to pay free kicks to players who throw their heads at opponents legs. If the player whose head is hit initiated the action, then there should be no free kick.

Anyone who watched the game shouldn't have a problem with the free kicks. The majority of them were fair. Although frustratingly they did slip into a couple of high tackles. I can't complain- and we all know how much I love to do that. Muppets

I think the situation highlighted the experience and the nous of the Eagles players who recognised the flow of the umpiring and played perfectly to them. Some clever ducking of the head into tackles and a couple of well executed dives didn't do them any harm. It was just one of those days for us and we were always going to be up against it but I thought the failure to award a free to Mitch Clark when he seemed to be interfered with in a marking duel set the scene for the first half. Didn't do much for our confidence.

Ducking is a blight on the game .Great to see Selwood just got his head smashed for the second time in a game .Hope he drops dead.

For the third time on here . Geelong could not have won that game with that free count . About 20% were legit .Disgraceful .Duckers deserve all the pain they get and "play on" .

9 head high tackles. We are just stupid dumb people on a grassy field. Can't bring myself to call them footballers.

Watched a few games on the weekend. None play the kind of *%^&$(_) we play week in week out. other games are actually enjoyable contests.

You are witnessing the killing of a football club. The players, coaches and staff are all responsible.

I want my weekends back.

It's time the AFL looked at the interpretation of the law which says ducking is play on to also be applied to incidents where players go-low. I know there was a warning sent out to players who were sliding head first into opponents legs to gets frees, same needs to be done IMO. It's dangerous and it's often not the fault of the tackler.

If it's so obvious and the umps fall for it every time how come I never see Melbourne players trying to "manouver" themselves into a free kick situation?

Think you need to get your head out of your you know what..... Selwwod just got knocked out going for the ball - putting his head on the line to win the ball for his side. Thats one of the many reasons why Geelong have wone 3 flags out of the last 5.....

Pity we dont have many Melb players willing to do this atm......

There is a major difference between ducking and what Selwood at his team mates do. Hope our boys watched todays game.

If you looked closely, he copped that today & played on & played a great game. Oh, his side won too.

If you hadnt noticed, you cant play that way these days.

Would love our boys to play like him, Bartel, Kelly, Enright, Corey, etc...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
