Nthmond make a big deal about scoring, but the statistics expose something very different.
Nthmond and Sydney were two of the most consistent defensive sides in the AFL for 2017.
Nthmond's scoring quarter by quarter was erratic, but they came good in the last quarters which might well be related to their low injury count as has been previously suggested.

No matter what Nthmond scored on average, the opposition averaged less.
If not for their shizen start to the season, the numbers suggest the Swans should have won the flag by some margin.
Probably the top attacking team was the Crows, but their defense was erratic.

The stats are a bit simplistic, they do not account for things such as who you play once or twice and the venues you play at. But they are a good indicator.
The media would have you think Nthmond roll the dice a lot, and back themselves to outscore the opposition, but not defensively it seems! You don't get those consistent defensive numbers by rolling the dice, rolling the dice gives you variable defensive numbers like the Crows.
It's Rnd 1, and Nthmond already have nearly as many injuries as they had last season!
