Wow. And it's supposed to be fair and equal...

You would think on average it should even out ...

Fun fact. Difference between Port and Melbourne is 10 goals , which is more than the accumulated margin of the games we have lost this year - 49 pts.

But noooooo…. Umpires don’t impact games.

Goals From Free Kicks Ladder - Round 14

Screen Shot 2023-06-20 at 2.23.57 pm

The overall 1965 to 2020 goals from frees ladder, per club comparison,  would not make for flash reading either I reckon.

I find this reasoning quite specious. What decisions turned the game against the Lions when we were trash until the lights went out? What goals came from decisions against Freo and Port? Or in the reverse against GC or Coll?

Expected accuracy at goal from player would dwarf the above number. 

This is just needless umpire bashing with no quantification - it really is a ‘damned lie.’

You are such a party pooper.

I'm surprised Freo aren't up there. It feels like everytime I watch them, whenever they go inside 50, free kick.

But then, this is just goals. Doesn't take into account misses. Shots on goal from frees i50 would make more sense.
