We're a top 5 side offensively but bottom 3 defensively

[one-eyed]

A bit simplistic I know to just go by for and against stats but both stats when put in order aren't too far away from the actual ladder positions especially the AGAINST (defensive) one. We are probably the odd out being top 5 at putting a score on the board (100 per game) yet bottom 3 conceding a score (110 per game)  .

As an aside, this weekend is actually a battle between a good defensive side with a makeshift attack (Swans) and us with our normally high scoring attacking play but leaky as a sieve defence  .

And to think essendon and geelong have posted big scores against gold coast who we haven't played yet. Great effort offensively

Ahahaha I take that back.

Thanks Inf. Apologies Balmyarmy.

Then we should kick the sweep.

Top 5 offence + bottom 3 defence = ninth

Plaesed we are beginning to kick big scores but need to tighten up in defence significantly to be able to move up the ladder
