Hall of Famer
Accuracy was a factor in that. Last year round 1 accuracy was 49.7% (not including complete misses), this year it was 56.6%Funnily enough it was only 6 points a game higher on Rd 1 2019; i.e. not much difference at all.
This years accuracy would have seen 7 more points per team last year
Last years accuracy would have seen a further 6 points less per team this year
As for what was the cause of the accuracy increase it could have been any of shorter quarters, no crowds, less pressure, more free kicks given in front of goal
