SuperCoach data reveals key trends in how AFL teams concede points by position and smart fantasy coaches are using it to gain an edge.
Carlton has been one of the stingiest defences in 2024, consistently limiting opposition defenders from scoring big from the backline.
In the ruck, Brisbane leads the competition for fewest SuperCoach points conceded, making it a danger zone for opposition big men.
On the opposite end sits West Coast, conceding far and away the most points of any club for any position - an average 113.9 points handed to opposition ruckman.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn has become one of the hardest teams to score against as a forward.
