Has anyone seen/heard the stats (if any) around the effectiveness of staying outside 5 (dogs do this) vs standing the mark (Melbourne and most others do this?

e.g., metres gained/scores in the passage of play, etc...?

    Twice (that I have seen) already tonight Reiwoldt at very least "shows dissent" without penalty.

    Have the AFL ever admitted that how they managed to preseason M V Carlton game was over zealous?  I guess they rarely admit they stuff things up.

    Has Lynch had a touch?

    Once caught red handed holding the ball, and just now a two handed scoop throw unpenalised

    How is this relevant to the 'season proper'?

    I thought that the "new rules / interpretations" were used in the preseason to accustomise players (and maggots) to how they were to be implemented in the season proper.  But, very clearly, not this time.

    Bulldogs kicking for goal

    Fabulous…

    2.9 to 6.3

    It will take a lot of gimmie frees to catch that up.

    Weightman a blatant throw back over his head - play on.

    Is it time to just allow throwing? (I hope not)

    Hasn't worked out all that well for the Dogs toning - pinged twice for 50 meter penalties and goals. (Maybe they have thought that they would get their usual dream run from the umpires)

    Can't say the dogs are getting all the frees tonite. In fact 2 Richmond goals from 50 meter penalties. They are however kicking themselves out of it. Be interesting to see if Richmond are still standing on 2 feet in the last quarter.

    Nath Jones awesome special comments.  Never thought he was the best in front of the camera in his early days as captain but obviously worked hard at it and is doing an excellent job.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
