FREMANTLE midfielder Lachie Neale is embarrassed by suggestions he could be in the frame for All Australian selection this season.

Neale has been in outstanding form throughout the first half of his fourth season, averaging 27 disposals per game and having kicked 10 goals.

He won his second Ross Glendinning Medal after a career-best 42 disposals and three goals against West Coast in round three.

He is also ranked 10th in the AFL for clearances after 12 rounds, averaging 6.8 per game.

But he is still staggered to think he is being mentioned in All Australian discussions.

"That's a little bit embarrassing, being brought up in that sort of fashion," Neale said.

"I think there's so many good players in the competition. I still run out every week in awe of some of the players I'm playing against.

"So to be considered in that, it sounds really nice, but in all honesty it's pretty embarrassing."

Instead, Neale is simply focused on improvement. The Dockers are 11-1 but they are still facing questions over their scoring power. They have averaged just 68 points per game over the past month after averaging 97 in the first eight rounds.

Neale said the connection between the forwards and midfielders is something the team is continually working on, and contended that the Dockers' relative lack of goals over the past month was a good thing, given they have won three of those four games. 

"I don't think it's a concern," Neale said. 

"It's almost a positive, I suppose, if we're able to get the results with a couple of forwards not delivering as well as they probably would like. 

"But if we can get them kicking a few more goals and delivering a bit better, and us as mids delivering a bit better, then it just shows that we can only improve."
