I thought the Dogs were a little favoured, the free kick count was 23-13 their way, but it was probably more a case of the Giants being umpired correctly this week, as opposed to when we played them, where they were given the freedom to snipe and were always favoured in the 50/50's. That approach didn't fit into the AFL's agenda yesterday. My worry is the umpires getting caught up in the 'romance' of the Dogs push for a long awaited flag, combined with taming the 'big, bad unpopular (in Melbourne at least) Swans' (a la 2012). I almost expect them to be favoured.....I just hope we are so good it doesn't matter.....
