Reward a team who scores 100 points win lose or draw a bonus point.
Bulldogs 111 beat Geelong 108
Bulldogs get 5 points
Cats get 1 point.
As a league these are the games you want more of so reward the teams involved.
So far Melbourne have scored 100 points 12 times
Collingwood and Richmond 11 times
West coast Geelong 6
Adelaide hawks kangaroos 5
Sydney Freo 4
Essendon port bulldogs saints lions 3
Giants 2
Suns 1
Carlton 0
We have had 5 games this year that both teams have scored over 100 points
3 of those games were in round 15.
2 at etihad - Essendon vs kangaroos Geelong vs bulldogs both round 15
2 at the g - hawks vs cats round 2 saints vs Melbourne round 15
1 Gabba - Lions vs Collingwood round 7.
Simple.

All it would take is one team to miss out on a top four/finals spot due to bonus points before the club reviews it’s game plan in the off season.
I’ve always believed percentage rewards good defensive teams.
You win a game 65-50 you get 130%
You win a game 115-100 you get 115%.
Coaches worked this out years ago.
It’s a better solution than zones imho.

daysofourlives wrote:Ive said it before the only time the game is unpredictable is at a centre bounce and for the ensuing lets sy 30 seconds to a minute. We need to replicate that for a majority of the game. Once that minute passes all clubs are able to set up defensively and it becomes a boring mess of 36 players around the football. Im all for whatever it takes. Buckleys argument that we will be waiting for players to get back in zones is flawed. How bout as a coach you leave your players in the zone, if you dont want to do that then you force the hand of the rule makers to make a zone that certain players cant leave and we dont want that. The coaches should shut their mouths, they are the reson we are in this predicament. Too many coaches in the game, restricting that would help. Ive been taking notice of assistant coaches when they speak after games on radio etc and all they talk about is defence, when they lose its all about letting the opposition score too freely, its a mindset and a blighht on the game.
I used to think reducing rotations would help but given the mindset of coaches i dont think it will. They will just instruct the players to play keepings off and kick backwards and maintain possesion.
Im all for shorter games but only if they extgend the season to 34 matches. Shofrter games equal play more often, you might play on a Monday and then a FRiday and back up the next Wednesday like a basketball draw, still fit the season in, inthe same time frame. Less training more playing, im sure the players would love it. Have your bigger drawing games on weekends and your suns v carlton type game on a tuesday night. Maximiose your crowds on a weekend and who cares if theres 5 people at a game during the week. I know the idea is out there but it could work
Wubbsy i understand a Sydney fan you have a very different interpretation of whats exciting football. To 90% of fans the Sydney way is what has got us into this mess. If it wasnt for Geelong and Hawthorn over the last 10 years we wouldve reached this point long ago.

I tend to agree with you mate, although is it selfish of us to want to see more attacking footy or is it a way to get more bums on seats?
At the end of the day, the clubs are franchises and wins are what buy memberships and merchandise, that's all they are interested in until there's a carrot, I think you have the right idea though, don't change the game, change the rewards.
Just for that, I'll let you buy me a beer next time I see you

The league wants higher scoring/less congestion.
As for less congestion I’d bring back a modified 3rd man up rule. If someone is electing to go as 3rd man up they are going to try to clear the area and move the ball forward as far as they can. Maybe change it to not allowed at boundary throw ins and only I f the ball hasn’t moved more than x amount of metres after a stoppage then the 3rd man up rule can come into play.
As in not available at every stoppage but it is an effective way to break up congestion from what I’ve seen in sanfl games . And less annoying than last touch rule

But then advantaged when it's pissing down in the Southern states, it's hard to rack up the ton in Tassie.

The AFL should feel ok if fans boycott the games both live and on tv then.
Trial games deserve trial game atmosphere and interest.
