They have conceded 11 goals in these five games, highlighting defensive frailties.

League Table Positions

Melbourne Knights sit top of the Victoria Premier League 1 with 51 points from 24 matches (16 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses). They have scored 47 goals and conceded just 20, giving them the best defensive record in the division.
