Just remember its not just sport its entertainment.

If the afl want a tight competition they'll engineer an outcome they want.

Only if we're all wearing our tinfoil hats 

I think that the AFL might need some help with their engineering; the results aren't going to plan ...

Well.  Look at that.  At the end of the round, all of a sudden you have 5 teams vying for top 4, and spots 5 to 10 all with about 2 games separation.

Despite what the free kick count says, we get some inexplicable decisions paid against at key moments and sure enough this won't decide the outcome but it helps.  A block in a ruck contest against De koning early in the last quarter giving the pies an easy clearance and they score another goal. 

Have a look at how readily we get play on calls against and a few extra holding the ball decisions that just didn't get paid.  At least 2 advantage decisions that just weren't to advantage to go with it.
