Every 6th Behind

[RedVest4]

So we all know 6 behinds combined is worth as much as 1 goal, due to the odd scoring system used in our great game.

This made me think, if 6 behinds are as good as 1 goal, why don’t the players celebrate every 6th behind?

Sure, the players need to get setup for a kick-in after a behind, but perhaps the AFL should make a rule change where after every 6th behind, the players should be given 30-60 seconds to get around each other and celebrate.
After all, it is worth as much as a goal.

It’s not even the off-season yet and we’re getting this nonsense.

 

[Masher]

It should be changed to 5 points a goal as 6 times table is harder to remember than 5

Coming from an Essendon fan, this is very rich.

You're obviously not a footy fan

It’s good for education though. 6 times tables are still probably my best (apart from the obvious ones).

Because we don’t celebrate points, we celebrate goals. What would you rather? Celebrate the sixth point you kick or turn those six single points into 36 points by kicking straight?

Every point is a lost opportunity for six of them, so your 6 times worse off when you miss.

And the 6 behindd should convert over to the goals tally by 1.

Not a bad idea OP, but who gets credited with the goal for the Coleman Medal's sake? Maybe it goes to the sixth behind scorer - not sure, will have to think on it a bit.

 

[bresker]

Every sixth behind, move each goalposts 20 cm closer to the other. Would teams work harder to kick behinds? If you could kick 12 rapid behinds that a helluva a advantage.

Not sure how being an Essendon supporter happens to impact on this thread being terrible.

So when Mooney shanked that kick on half time in the 2008 GF they should have been celebrating because that was their 12th behind?

 

[FISTO]

Just imagine Adam Goodes chucking an invisible spear into the crowd and dancing to celebrate after kicking a thrilling point to cap off a set of six behinds.

An image that would no doubt be encapsulated in time as one of the great moments in Australian history.

 

[Underarm]

I was disappointed Daniher didn't celebrate his 6th behind a couple of years ago.

it could mean Richo s a contender for the goat
Nobody could miss goals like that man. Nobody.

I think given the chance Zac Clarke could.

After all, it is worth as much as a goal.

No, no it isn't

 

[JeddaB]

No, no it isn't

It absolutely is.
6x1 = 6
1x6 = 6

RedVest4 you're spot on m7.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

It absolutely is.
6x1 = 6
1x6 = 6

Nope;

1x6 = 6
1x1 = 1

This is art and should be stickied as a shining example of thinking for all to see.
