Rd 7 - West Coast v Port Adelaide - Saturday 5th May - Optus Stadiem 4:35pm

[Ringo]

Eagles are coming off 5 straight wins although against teams outside the 8 so Power will be a real test. Eagles are at home where they are building a fortress so Eagles by 15

That free kick count is a disgrace , need an inquiry into how that can happen , always seems to happen when the crowd is one sided except when teams are in Melbourne ?

No I didn't watch the game but explain to me how we have these huge blowouts to the home teams in free kicks , it may happen in Melbourne in rare games but it just happens far to often it seems away from Melbourne ?

I'll start with 161 to 121 Contested Possessions. Eagles went and got the ball first pretty much all game.


Don't get me wrong, there were ones during the game which I was annoyed that were paid (One htb on Howard, tackled by Darling), but we were really poor and second to the ball all game.

Nah sorry PB this has been happening for a long time when ever it's a one sided crowd it seems to happen but much more so away from Melbourne , hell I don't even follow the teams today but have watched many games where the crowd influence the umpires just because of the sheer noise ... very unfair

Say you're right, does it matter if the crowd influences the umps?

Yeah it might seem unfair but so is the grand final being at the G regardless of who's home game it is

The AFL will never be perfectly fair, some things benefit some clubs other things benefit other clubs

[/quote]Yes when it ends up that the away team has a major disadvantage when the home team gets so many more frees most of which are not there for the away team for similar situations.
