Melbourne's perfect start to 2023 is making it difficult to see where the defending AFLW premiers' next loss is coming from.abc.net.au/news/how-melbourne-built-the-most-damaging-attack-in-aflw-history/102907982Melbourne's quest to become the first AFLW side to win back-to-back premierships is off to a flying start.
And get better is something Melbourne has done this year, becoming the most prolific attacking side in AFLW history to really put opponents to the sword. The pure spread of goal-kicking options Melbourne boasts is unparalleled, enjoying goals from 16 different players already this season, while 11 of those have kicked multiple goals across the opening four rounds.
As a result, the side is averaging a record 16.3 marks inside 50 per game, 4.3 ahead of its nearest rival Adelaide, who averages 12 this year. So, by always looking for teammates in better positions, the Demons have found their most accurate return in front of goal since joining the competition.
