Key numbers from Sunday's loss to the Eagles at Etihad Stadium.

31 – The number of possessions Jack Macrae gathered on Sunday, who was a leading light for the Dogs on a disappointing day. His 31 included 19 kicks at 89% effectiveness, as well as six clearances, and also generated six forward 50 entries and kicked three goals.

2 – A couple of Josh Dunkley goals bookended a nine goals to nothing run that effectively ended any hope the Dogs had of taking a 1-1 record into Round 2.

11 – Zaine Cordy registered a game-high 11 one percenters, five more than his closet teammate and one more than the highest Eagle. His average of eight a game leads the team.

4 – Livewire forward Billy Gowers may have only kicked one goal from his four shots but at different times in the last couple of weeks, the former Footscray forward has shown he has the potential to be a dangerous proposition in front of the goal. One to watch.

3 – The score review of Josh Dunkley’s goal late in the first quarter felt like it went on for about three hours. We got there in the end, but not before the crowd got more than a little restless.
