Round 7 - Western Bulldogs v Adelaide - Saturday 7th May 7:40 - Etihad Stadium

[Jay]

Troy Pannell's free kick count tonight was 17-1, in favour of Bulldogs... How is that possible... Seventeen to one!!

The flog is a Dogs fan as well! How the flower is that allowed to happen, he even patted Stringer on the ass during the flowering game. Flowering pathetic, flower the AFL.

The cow has done the last 3 Dogs games and they've won the free kick count 75-38... How is that allowed to happen.

Only positive is that the over-correction from the umpiring department should see Adelaide with a decent run at it this week when ol' mate Danger comes to town.

Individually he has given the Bulldogs 32 frees to 10 for the opponents in those games. Oh and guess which umpire paid the ridiculous deliberate out of bounds last week against Luke McDonald?

I don't think we were the better team last night, but would be nice to still get a fair crack at it.

You win the contested ball count you win the free kick count its pretty simple!

Agree with this to a certain extent but also want consistency.  Dogs were awarded 3 frees for holding in the forawrd 50 2 of which resulted in goals.  I observed 2/3 cases of holding by dogs in Adelaides forward 50 without a free being awarded.  This inconsistency is what gets me. It seems that ok Bulldogs first at ball so we watch what happens in the forward 50 Crows playing second to ball so we do not worry about them getting held.  I stand by my observations that Parnell annd Nicholls are the 2 most inconsistent umpires in the AFL.
Just an observation on umpiring and I may add Dogs were the better side and deserved to win.

Not when the umps (Surely everyone noticed) constantly call for the softest and slightest interpretations in a high stakes professional event.

Ok maybe Adelaide need to work on tackling technique and sloppiness, that' what I got from the game. Other than being robbed

The Dogs no doubt deserve the win, they were the better team on the night but it just isn't fair when there is an supporter of a club umpiring their game, he had an agenda during that game and it is a flowering joke!
