Just turned on the game, not really caring who won; then the Dogs got two charity goals. So, it's go the Bombers.

My goodness the umpiring! Weightman literally charges Draper with his head - another Bulldogs free kick.

The fix is on for the Dogs. Again!!

Just like clockwork, the fairypuppies are back in vogue

Did you hear one of the commentators complimenting Weightman for raising his arm when tackled so the tacklers arm slides up
and Weightman gets head high free kick (ala Joel Selwood)?. So far four of the Dogs' seven goals have come from free kicks to
Weightman. Only two of the Dogs goals at this point have come from general play. Right now Weightman has 5 free kicks,
Essendon have 10.

My, the Bombers are being shafted by soft frees in front of goal.

The Poodles 7th goal came from a free kick that was just laughable.
Commentators called it out, too.

I have absolutely no idea what the last one was for.

The umpires in this game should be sacked for the rest of the finals series. It’s comically bad.

Hodge just said Zac Merrett walked past and asked what the hell about that last one to Weightman.

It was for lightly pushing Weightman when he was over the boundary line.

Even that one against Draper was absurd. I’d be happy for Toby Greene to walk out and shirt front a couple of these umps right now.

Fox seem reluctant to post the free kick count .

Right now it's ;
Weightman : 5
Other Dogs players : 10
Essendon : 11

The issue is 5 of the Dogs 8 goals have come from free kicks.

Thanks KT

I wonder what the payoff is for Weightman kicking 4 or more goals.
