    You should write a Footy Column for The Australian Liz.
    You’re so good here ... but it’s a pretty limited audience.

    I'm at Marvel Stadium and Sweet Caroline is playing!

    I just witnessed umpire security overreaction. I'm sitting next to the umpire race and the police came at the 23 minute mark and stood along the race blocking my view and the view of everyone behind them. There were seats they could have sat it but no they stood. Even the actual stadium security person was considerate and was sitting. The umpires were on the ground officiating...no one could harm them. A few of us questioned them when they left and we were rudely told that they were instructed to stand and we should take it up with stadium management!!

    Bulldogs come from behind at 3QT to beat Cats.

    Free kicks 28 - 13. Can you guess who got the 28?

    Bruce McAvaney gushing about them and making references to 2016!

    Interesting stat from tonights Cats v Fairypups game. Free kick count 28 - 13 to the 'pups (business as usual) and Bontempelli got seven frees all by himself.....

    Post edit: I'll go further.....comparing the midfielders. Figures are 'frees for and against'

    Cats: Dangerfield 1-1, Kelly 0-4, Selwood 2-4, Duncan 0-2.....totals 3 for, 11 against.

    Pups: Bontempelli 7-2, Hunter 2-0, Dunkley 5-1, McCrae 3-1.....totals 17 for, 4 against.

    Armchair ride......

    Wow, I can't remember that game....

    Seriously though, you are right......they had something like a +38 free kick differential over the four finals games alone!

    I believe the free-kick score was 82-49 in the 4 games they played in the 2016 final series.

    And the further they advanced in that final series, the better their free kick for/against ratio became! Don't forget, they shouldn't have even been in that Grand Final! The umpires got them over the line in the PF against GWS!

    Lions doing well at Spotless against the Giants. 20 pts up at the moment. Can they keep it up?

    Yes they can. Almost home now. I'm really enjoying watching the Blions play this year. Charlie Cameron is so much fun to watch in particular.
