Perhaps not suprisingly, Geelong captain Joel Selwood has received the most free kicks so far this season, averaging almost three per game.
West Coast's Luke Shuey is second, while GWS co-captain Callan Ward comes in at third.
It seems the Cats' midfielders know how to draw the umpire's whistle, with Patrick Dangerfield coming in at fourth, receiving an average of just under two free kicks per game.
(All stats correct as of end of Round 19, 2016).
