Melbourne

Frees for per game: 22 (equal 7th)
Frees against: 20.7 (equal 12th)
Differential: +1.3 (7th)

Most free kicks for: Max Gawn (21, equal seventh) 2017: Jack Viney (28, equal 41st)
Most free kicks against: James Harmes (17, equal 12th) 2017: Clayton Oliver (40, equal ninth)

Three free kick facts: 
1. Melbourne has been pinged the most of any team in the competition for throwing the ball, with that stat accounting for 6.4 per cent of their total free kick count.
2. The Demons also lead the League for centre bounce infringements (0.6 per cent).
3. Melbourne has won the most free kicks for holding the man in the AFL (24.8 per cent). - Ben Guthrie

Most of those throwing the ball decisions would have been wrongly paid against Clayton Oliver.

We got heaps more frees. It was like Melbourne had been flung into a parallel universe.

0.6% of what? If we "lead" that particular category then it can't mean 0.6% of all centre bounce infringements. It might be obvious to others, but I genuinely have no idea what this number means. Any ideas?

This makes no sense, 21 free kicks for is equal seventh  - 28 free kicks for is equal 41st?

Does it mean that 0.6% of our infringements are centre bounce infringements and that's the highest out of all the teams?

Yeah, but they were totes on board the bulldog train in 2016... nothing to see here at all, game after game after game...

Ahh. That would make sense (or not, given that the percentage of our own total infringements is relatively meaningless as a measure being compared with other teams. It's the absolute number, rather than the proportion, that might be vaguely interesting or relevant.)

I was pleasantly surprised with how well we did with the umpires against Adelaide.  I actually remember thinking a few times as I watched the game that we had given away a free kick, but no whistle, play on.  Also got a fair few fairly soft free kicks in favour of Hogan and Lever that I'm not sure we would have got in the past.

As much as we made the running in many ways and should probably have an amount more free kicks as a result, I actually think that umpires are more likely to favour the better side, even in an unintentional, subconscious way.  Hopefully a good sign for things to come.

Agreed, we see it every game, almost. Clarrie is too quick for the myoptic umpires. Shame they do not watch the replays just to learn how quick his handball disposals actually have been. Turning a blind eye will not slow him down ...

I would normally say "don't hold your breath", but now "don't bank on it" and i definitely wouldn't say "don't put your balls on it"

No surprises here: 

From 31 games in his past two seasons, Joel Selwood has received 49 head-high free kicks – 23 more than the next highest, Brisbane's Rhys Mathieson.

Selwood (95) and Patrick Dangerfield (88) top the league for free kicks for in that time.

These guys have the umpires totally conned.

Mathieson is an embarrassment to have so many such frees as he has not played every game.  The kid learnt some bad habits copying his hero local J Selwood and now can't get a game.

Hayden Christianson another Selwood prodigy is a disgrace too. Cost his team a few opportunities at goal against the Swans when he went for the high free instead of the tap or handball on, and the umpire was having none of it.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
