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.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
