I agree, fouls were determining match outcomes in 2014, whereas when they did influence the result this year, it was usually a 5-10 point swing and the fouls were largely justified. Too many teams didn't pay attention to the rules about being protected in the outerworks and leaving before the last 20 seconds.
And 2013 was worse for fouls, on loading discs among others. There were also more red cards in 2013. We were involved in at least 3 incidents in elims in 2013 and our experience wasn't unique. This year the only one I saw directly was during the Newton final.
