    Just show's you that when the forward line starts clicking we will be a force to be reckoned with.

    With players like Green, Sylvia, Petterd, Jurrah, Wonna, Watts, it already sounds good

    considering the week 1 result, that is an incredible stat.

    Well done to our back room Keep up the pressure.

    Only conceded over 100 twice, am I right?

    Round 1 - Hawthorn - LOST 61-117

    Round 2 - Collingwood - LOST 85-86

    Round 3 - Adelaide - WON 57-41

    Round 4 - Richmond - WON 133-78

    Round 5 - Brisbane - WON 103-53

    Round 6 - North - LOST - 78-104

    Round 6 - Bulldogs - LOST 66-70

    Round 7 - Eagles - LOST 46-75

    Then scores against of 86, 78, 75, 70, 53 and 41. Woohoo

    Successful teams build and stabilise the defensive zone first

    We are on track towards that goal

    Lovely numbers. I can't see us going out of the top 4 for points against this year either. Good times. We get it in defence, we rebound (unless it's a kick in) beautifully, our midfield is winning more quarters than it's losing... it's just we have no forward line.

    A lack of injuries in mid and defence is probably as much a factor as anything. Our forward line gets decimated, and look what happens.

    I think we are 14th for points scored, but that isn't a huge concern as we will improve in that area. What I do like is that we won't always have to kick a big score to win games.

    It also suggests that our midfield is more competitive.

    Happy to come from this angle rather than the alternative which is Carlton a couple of years ago, all attack and no defense.

    Being miserly in D is the best position to come from, far more consistent.

    It's a great sign to be doing so well in terms of points against. Having a percentage of 100.8% despite being 3-5 and 11th on the ladder is testament to that. We're about 10% clear of any other bottom 8 side, and Port Adelaide, who are 5-3 and in the top 8, are sub-90.

    Having said that, we've scored over 100 twice, the remaining scores being 61, 85, 57, 78, 56, 46. Low. So it's patently obvious where the improvement needs to come from. But I'd much rather have it this way around than the other way.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
