Stats Recap: Round 5

We look at the stats following our Round 5 loss on the weekend.

We take a look at some of the key stats from Saturday's loss to the Western Bulldogs.

	The number of inside 50s the Dogs had - Defenders Merrett (17 possessions), Harris Andrews (11 disposals and a game-high 8 marks) and Darcy Gardiner never stopped trying and had some wins against the flow of inside 50s which the Bulldogs dominated 71-31.
	The differential in contested football numbers - The final contested possession count was 176-125.
	The number of rotations we had on the bench - Losing Tom Cutler and Allen Christensen to injury before halftime did not help but the visitors were simply outworked and outmuscled in a game they believed they couldl challenge the injury-hit Dogs.
