ADELAIDE will meet with the AFL to examine the umpiring decisions made during the Crows' loss to the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.

The Crows were outraged at the lopsided free kick count, with the Bulldogs awarded 28 free kicks and Adelaide just 12.

The Bulldogs won the game at Etihad Stadium by 15 points.

However, AFL football operations boss Mark Evans the lopsided free kick count was not an issue, but he was happy to go through the vision with Adelaide officials to determine the accuracy and consistency of the decision-making.

"Out of fairness to Adelaide, we'll go through example by example with them, today or tomorrow," Evans said on Monday.

"As you would expect in every match, there are some free kicks there that favoured the Bulldogs and some that favoured Adelaide - we'll give them that assessment this afternoon."

The Crows have lost the free kick count four times this season and the past two times they have played in Melbourne.

"What I will say straight up is don't get sucked in to just look at the count of free kicks," Evans said.

"The real assessment is about whether they're correct or not."
