THE 1371 points kicked against Port Melbourne in the VFL's home-and-away season was the fewest in the competition.
And much of the credit for that miserly defence goes to assistant coach Peta Searle.
When she came on board late last year, beating male applicants for the role, she entered uncharted territory - no woman had ever coached at VFL level before.
Not that Searle has been too concerned with that feat.
"Coaching at any level is a
challenge," she says. "At the end of the day football is football, no matter where you're at."
