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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
