WHO IS Melbourne's kick-in specialist? Which players are entrusted with the responsibilty of restarting play after an opposition behind? Where do they direct their kicks? And how many kick-ins lead to a score at the other end? AFL Media's Ben Guthrie crunches the numbers for the Dees.

Who else takes them? Bernie Vince (55), Christian Salem (41), Michael Hibberd and Jake Lever (13) Total: 10 players
Do they play on? 57 out of 201 (28.4 per cent). Who plays on the most? Christian Salem (27)

Rushed behinds: 31 (17th)
Scoring opportunities: Inside 50s (46), scores (10.12)

Analysis: The Demons like to rely on their two most experienced players to take kick-ins, with Jordan Lewis and Bernie Vince often bringing the ball back into play. Lewis tends to prefer hitting short targets, with 40 of his 69 kick-ins following this pattern. Importantly, 65 of his total 69 kick-ins have been classed as effective by Champion Data. With Vince sidelined by a shoulder injury, and in and out of the team based on form anyway, Christian Salem and Michael Hibberd are others who may get the opportunity to take some kick-ins during the finals.
