Once inside 50, the Western Bulldogs convert a goal just 19.4 per cent of the time - the lowest ever recorded.

It’s not going to get any easier on Sunday against Fremantle, which has conceded just 85 points per game this season.

Zac Dawson is out of Freo’s back six with injury, but veteran Antoni Grover has plenty of experience and will slot into defence nicely.

It’ll be on him and his old partner-in-crime Luke McPharlin to marshal Freo’s backline and help continue the Dogs’ misery inside its attacking arc.
