I didn't see the last Sturt Eagles game so I don't have any fresh memories of them, but it seems a stretch that the umpires love them because they are the Eagles.
They've won 13 of 15 this year, 14 of 18 last year, 16 of 18 the year before...maybe they just get to the ball first?
Having said that, Woodville Oval is an unhappy hunting ground for my lot and we always get crucified by the maggots there.
We have comprehensively beaten then twice this year and won the stats easily but still lost the free kick count comfortably. At Woodville this year it was nothing short of cheating
