    Re: Round 13 Free Kick Differential Ladder

    Free kicks are largely irrelevant, except:

    1. If incorrectly paid to a player simulating excessive contact aka "taking a dive" eg Bugg

    2. If incorrectly paid due an umpire guessing that fast hands has to equate to a throw eg WB mids every week

    2. If never paid to a player infringed in a marking contest - whether it be held, arms chopped or tunnelled eg Tom Boyd

    Re: Round 13 Free Kick Differential Ladder

    So the 'hard done by' teams (differential of -20+) are sitting 2nd and 6th, while the teams with a positive differential (plus 20+) are sitting 7th, 9th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

    Says a lot about the value of the stat.
