Lalor has ticked plenty of boxes in the first part of the Northern Football League division 3 season.
After not winning a game for more than 1000 days, the Bloods have won two in their first seven rounds.
Coach Lance Whitnall said they were pretty happy with how things were tracking so far.
“It’s not too bad,” he said. “We’ve been competitive in most of the games that we have played and we’ve got a couple of wins on the board.
“The first thing we wanted to do at the start of the season was to be competitive and go from there.
“That box has been ticked so far.”
Whitnall said he was seeing improvement in the group every week as they get to know each other.
He said they were now feeling they were around the mark and would hopefully get a few more wins on the board.
“There’s some belief that we have turned a corner.”
Whitnall said Nathan Parkes and Heath Patton has been the two players that had impressed him the most this season,
The Bloods had a bye on the weekend, which Whitnall said had come at a good time.
“We have a couple of niggles, which most teams have at this time of the year,” he said.
“I’ll certainly be looking forward to getting back out there.”
The Bloods have a three game period before the King’s Birthday weekend break.
Whitnall said it was a crucial period for them.
“We come up against Kinglake at home, Mernda and Heidelberg West at home. Hopefully we can be competitive and get a couple more wins on the board out of those games.”
