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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
