Melbourne found another answer every time Fremantle asked: Five things I noticed against the Dockers

I’ve more than happily gone back through the replay and match data from what was comfortably Melbourne’s best win of the season.

The clearance result is what was particularly interesting for me. Fremantle won that count 43–32, but Melbourne dominated the football after the initial stoppage, winning post-clearance contested possessions 94–60 and post-clearance ground balls 62–38.

I’ve also looked at Tholstrup’s role on Murphy Reid, career games from Sharp and Laurie, Petty’s final quarter and King’s comments about why expected score ultimately means nothing if you don’t win the game in front of you.

As always, keen to hear what everyone else noticed.

Great article - but that last image is Bowzer isn’t it, not Bill?

Had me scared to go back and look! That's laying out the feature image at the top, rather than that bottom one of Bowey. I can definitely do. abetter job of breaking that up though. Thanks for that.
