AFL Rd 4 2022 Post Game Permutations Carlton vs Gold Coast

[kruddler]

If you want to see why the MRO treat us the way they do, look no further than AFLW.  Maddie P has been clobbered illegally in the AFLW and gets the raw end of the stick, and now shes leaving to go to Essendon.

This is something I have thought about.  Why would you play at the place which is deemed AFL purgatory when you can go to windy hill and get the gold treatment because they are "good for footy".

You will find many people saying similar across every AFL club site.

I do not subscribe to this theory.

FWIW, Patrick Cripps is =20th in free kicks for this year. He did miss over half the game on the weekend (which works out to be 1/8th less potential time on ground than others.
Increase his free kick count by the difference (assuming he'd receive the same amount of free kicks in the time he missed)
and he get 1 more free kick, which makes him =10th in the league for frees for.

Now if what you say is true, surely the AFL wouldn't allow that.

Yet, we still think he's hard done by.

Short version...
BS.
