Nice to be on the positive side of the ledger but Hollywood dorks and Power are polar opposites. I got the feeling last week that the dorks got the very best of it against us. Grrrr…!!!

glad this is getting airtime, their diving for downfield frees and ducking is atrocious. dont know why umpires continue to pay fake frees.

 

The media just figured out that Free Kicks are impacting dramatically results of Games. Go figure

The 2025 Free Kick Ladder - Round 16

Last time we took a look at these numbers was after Round 10 when Hawthorn led the way with a differential of +63.

The Hawks (+56) remain on top but the gap has been somewhat bridged by Carlton (+47) who sit second thanks to the most frees for (338).

Brisbane (+33) occupies third position after sitting fifth six weeks ago, slightly ahead of Queensland compatriots Gold Coast (+29), with Melbourne (+26) making up the top five.

At the foot of the table, Port Adelaide (-69) are on the nose with the match officials, attracting the second fewest frees (256) and giving away the second most (325).

North Melbourne (-51) has also copped the raw end of the deal, infringing most frequently with 331 frees against.

GWS (-39) sits third bottom, while the noise of affirmation in 2025 for WA duo West Coast (-37) and Fremantle (-18) is not quite there.

See the FK Ladder after Round 16 below:

The 2025 Goals from Free Kicks Ladder - Round 14

Carlton (+12) sits atop the Goals from Free Kicks differential with 25 goals and only 13 against. They've been conscientious in that regard.

Second is Brisbane (+11) with the equal second most goals from frees (28) and 17 goals conceded, ahead of Hawthorn (+6) who have the most goals from frees with 29.

Making up the top five is North Melbourne and Geelong (+5) with Gold Coast (+4) next.

The team that has seemingly not been looked after when it comes to Goals from Free Kicks is... look away Saints fans... St Kilda with just nine majors from frees.

Their differential of -16 is comfortably the worst in the league.

Second bottom is Adelaide (-7) with only 15 goals from frees, narrowly behind Melbourne (-6) and Sydney (-5).

Goals from 50MPs

NOTE: Seven clubs (Geelong, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hawthorn, GWS, Melbourne & West Coast) have played 14 games. 10 clubs (Collingwood, Fremantle, Bulldogs, Carlton, Port Adelaide, Essendon, Sydney, St Kilda, North Melbourne & Richmond) have played 13 games. One club (Gold Coast) has played 12 games.

So i think what we all feel is the goals conceded from frees and we top the list on that one. Its not so much the ingame umpiring tbh, but it makes a mark when there is a goal conceded and this statistic pretty much sums up what we have all been seeing of late.

It's not even the most goals conceded from frees that concerns me. It's the ones the umpires don't pay and don't show up in the statistics.

Kozzie running into open goal and deliberately tripped over comes to mind. MRO? Not a chance.

Collingwood always win close games because they can do anything in the last 5 minutes without the umpire blowing the the whistle. If Nick Faicos goes near it you can bet on him getting a free kick

100% correct. Differential is pointless.

Surprised we're so far in the positive when spending most the game aimlessly chasing opponents and not making contests in the forward 50.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
