News Rule Change Imminent?

[kranky al]

Maximum of four interchanges. Players have too much energy and can complete things like tactical plays rather than bomb it in and have marking contests like in the good old days.

Also, teams must have at least one player with a beer belly in each zone for centre bounces.

Little stat for everybody. North and Freo need to score between them 168 points so to avoid the lowest scoring round of AFL EVER!!!

How's that worked out? We used to have 6 game rounds now it's 9, is it by average?

Yes, by average. The lowest ever was round 7 2015, teams averaged 76.9 point.

Round 15 averaged 76.9.

Round 16 1996 averaged 74.1. Lowest for 18 teams was Round 5 last year - 76.4.

Currently 76.0 after 8 games. Including the last game, halfway through the second, on target for 77.3.

Round 1 in recent years has not been low scoring.

You'd need to ask mianfei. He'd probably know off the top of his head.

One thing for sure is that it'll be the lowest-scoring opening round since 1965, by quite a margin. Currently 176 points short of the next lowest.

Monday the 19th of April 1965 must have been a very wet day, 3 games with a highest team score of 47.
