I’ve always been bemused with people’s perceptions of frees. I know of no Law or directive that states that there must be an equal number of frees to both sides. Furthermore, if one side gets more frees then one can’t really make any judgements on their merit without actually having watched that particular match.
Same with possessions. Just amassing possessions sometimes gives little indication of how well someone has played (insert exhibit A - Kane Cornes).
Whilst I’ve observed and commented on more than one occasion in the past that the Eagles are sometimes kissed on the dick by the umpiring angels, the umpiring in Sunday’s match seemed equally good and bad on occasions to both teams, so the umpiring angels didn't do any overt kissing that I can recall.
The disclaimer is that I watched the telecast so wasn’t at the ground, which sometimes can significantly skew one’s perception.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
