And very importantly when they were paid

Now do the “games lost due to bullshit umpiring” ladder.
We’d do ok, 2 losses 1 win by my count.

No conclusions can be drawn one way or another on who finishes near the top of the free kick differential.
Unless a club has constantly been near the top… like Collingwood.
Go back to the Geelong game…that cheating both destroyed us and reinvigorated Geelong. C Scott even commented about how they got their mojo back in that quarter.
Most games, you can point to a dodgy free at the end of the game and forget the three dodgy frees in the second quarter that every caused or stopped a goal.

I think that was the game where I commented that it was just too obvious to be bad luck.
We got absolutely rinsed that night by the umps, in a way that stood out.
Despite the margin, they cost us that game.

The deliberate rushed against Menzies was the worst on-field decision I think I’ve ever seen. The umpire completely ignored the rules to give it

My 9 year old still talks about that.

I don’t blame them, I’ll be talking about Anzac Day 2019 until I’m dead

Goalpost gate has to be the absolute most farked tho.
Should’ve been a kick from the goal square to win the game.

It was what followed that which was worse. 6-10 bad decisions, either missed obvious frees not paid to us or non-existent frees paid to Geelong.
From memory, the non-free to Draper in our forward pocket kickstarted that run from the umpires
