It's definitely a big problem in the game. I've noticed it becoming more prevalent. Brendan Fevola is a particularly bad example. For such a big touch bloke he finds so many ways to fall down in agony! I think it comes in several forms, there is the case when no contact is made but arms (or legs) are flying and a player knows that an umpire can't see the situation clearly, so they just throw their head back, fall over and writhe around in pain for the umpire to see. Another case is when there is light contact, but the player exaggerates its strength. I think this is particularly dangerous because when it is reviewed by the match committee and tribunal, they will see the contact and possibly suspend the player for several matches. Another related example is when a player is being tackled and they just fall forward over the ball and act like they have been driven into the ground. That is similar because no illegal contact was made, but they try to make the umpire believe that the tackler was behaving recklessly. On Footy Classified the other day, they showed some clips of players actually throwing themselves forward during a tackle and receiving free kicks for it. I think it's a blight on the game and needs to be stamped out. I don't think you can blame the umpires because they have so much to take in at a very fast pace. But I think if it can be shown on video evidence that a player is faking contact - either to receive a free kick or to imply that a player has struck them, they should receive a penalty. Probably a fine at first, and a suspension if they try it again. It is serious because they can influence the result of a game and possibly affect somebody else's career if they get suspended over such an incident. Aside from all that, it's just not a good way to play football. There needs to be some code of honour that you don't fall over every time you receive a tap. It's a tough game, but some players are making it look like it's too tough for them and they need the umpire to look after them. The poor little flowers!

No. If he does ,it's an Indirect Free Kick to the opponents. The ball must strike another player before he can play the ball again. This also applies to Penalty Kicks.

Free kicks are either direct or indirect.
For both direct and indirect free kicks, the ball must be stationary when the kick is taken and the kicker does not touch the ball a second time until it has touched another player.
Taken from the official fifa laws of the game.

Technically no because the crossbar isn't another player, same with an upright or a corner flag (heaven forbid a free kick was ever that bad).

depends on the direction in which the ball was bounced off the bar

yes, once he has kicked it it is back in full play, an indirect one has to be touched by another player.
