Why? There's no rule that prevents AFL players playing for their local club during the bye.

Great smother and run into an open goal by Mellington. 
Schammer off down the race injured.

There is if they played the week before at AFL level ... I don't know the full details, but it's an AFLPA thing and, basically, a player who played the week before at AFL level cannot be required to play the lower level during the bye. If they do, they become unavailable for AFL the following week.
However, they can get special permission but it has to be cleared by the AFLPA - in this case they may well have got it, it's not like Mellington has had that much time on the field at AFL level.

Yeah, his pressure has been Maynesque.

Almost "de Pig" like. Can't wait to see if these two come up against each other in the Derby
Correct, Freo would have easily got a clearance for Mello considering he was used as a sub against GC and didn't come on till the last quarter.
Faulks ended up with 6 possies which is about right for him ??? Crighton had 19 ,Mellington 15 and 2.4 ,JVB had a solid game with 20 odd possies.
Clancy played ressies for PT and had 25 whilst Houghton played for EF ressies but managed only 7 which would be a bit dissappointing unless injured again.
Kep dog and Anthony did not play
At Joondalup today & Mellington really impressive....will be a very good pick up for us, espicially as he is just 18. I think as a 22-23 year old half forward, he will be really dangerous.
Schammer was ok but a bit seagullish at times....he really should of been reported for his late attack on a West Perth player, but umpires didn't bring out the book.
VanBerlo did well....
On another note....Luke Blackwell should be playing AFL...I would be very happy if Freo threw this kid a lifeline, just runs all day & deceny skills...

Does anyone know why Anthony didn't play?
I can't remember which thread it was and I know it's just BigFooty but someone posted here a week or so again claiming we've committed to taking Blackwell this year.
Very impressed with his tackling, he definitely loves playing above his weight.
Didn't look too bad in a Garlic Munchers guernsey.
Suffering a severe case of "Pissweakitis!". I am however disappointed that Perth was not playing meaning that Sibo was not able to show off to the world during Freo's bye!
Have to agree based upon what I saw today......
Shepheard was one of the best for EP in the Foxtel Cup apparently. It seems that he and Sibbo have been read their last rites and they're fighting back to save their careers.
I particularly liked this comment from the article: "Shepheard kicked a goal and provided a consistant option for EP, as he sought desperately to lead his team"
It doesn't sound much like the Shepheard I've seen but there you go. Good on him.

Talk is he has been guaranteed a spot of Freo's rookie list if he is still there.
