Melbourne

 

Players used 22 Demons have attended a centre bounce in 2018.

Ruckmen
2018 ruck attendances (top two):
Max Gawn (499), Sam Weideman (32)
Centre square hit-outs per game (minimum five games): Max Gawn (16.3)
Centre square hit-outs to advantage differential (team): +4.1 (first)

Onballers
Most common ruck-rover combination:
Max Gawn-Clayton Oliver (71)
Most used midfielder (midfielder who attends most centre bounces): Clayton Oliver (427)
Centre clearances won (team differential): +3.5 (first)
Centre clearance king (minimum five games): Jack Viney (3.6)

ANALYSIS: Melbourne is the top-ranked centre clearance team in the competition with ruckman Max Gawn essential to the Demons' midfield dominance. Gawn's ability to give his midfielders first use is critical to how the Melbourne machine functions, with the Demons ranked No.1 in the competition for centre square hit-outs to advantage differential. Gawn has developed a strong rapport with Clayton Oliver and Angus Brayshaw, but the fact 22 Demons have rotated through the centre bounce points to the team's emphasis on being versatile through the centre/forward regions of the ground. If they can get co-captain Jack Viney back into the side for the finals, the Demons will be far better off. – Ben Guthrie

 

Definitely missing Viney.

Harmes & Petracca also combine pretty well when in the midfield together.
