What is your solution for low scoring in the AFL Men's?

[Lethality]

What would your solution be to fix the low scoring in the men's version of the AFL? Typically the women's version has been criticised, but scoring in the men's version of the game has been a problem for a while now, and now it's worse than ever, with the lowest scoring since 1968.

What is your solution?

Is low scoring a problem? The higher the scores the more stoppages.
The more shots on goal the more of those 30 second boring shot clocks.
The more boring score reviews.
Or just play like Richmond and score over a hundred week in week out
I’d say everything is just tiddly boo at the moment.

Teams shouldn't be allowed any players in their D50 until the ball has been marked 50 meters out.

this is your typical annual knee-jerk reaction 6 weeks into a season...each year there's something...rotations, holding the ball, centre bounce, flooding..etc

Just let the game evolve and let the coaches/players work it out, no more rules - this is the beauty of the game.

The only team to have cracked the 200 point mark on multiple occasions since the AFLM's inception in 1990 is Geelong. Therefore, every other team should study how those Geelong teams managed to kick cricket scores on a regular basis and make that the competition standard.

There needs to be a return to zonal rules, much as the case with the pre-bounce set-up.....As a means to check the ugly rugby-scrums that have become a blight on our game.

A good & simple rule would be that each side must have a minimum of 3 players each within both forward & defensive 50 meter arcs at all times.....That means that team discipline in teaching the rule would become a factor, though I'm sure the boundary umpires could adjudicate it easily enough.....So if a forward is leading outside the designated area, then he needs to have been inside the 50, when the ball left the foot of the player delivering the ball.

No.....Actually, nothing could be further from the truth......The rugby scrums that have become par for the course have been a feature now for many a season.....It has become clear that the coaches have no solution to it, as all they're interested in, is winning.

Beauty?.....I'm not seeing much beauty with all these ugly rolling scrums, resulting in shoddy handballs/throws, holding the man/holding the ball rules becoming a complete lottery.

The reason for why so many goals are scored from the bounce in the middle, is that there is a comparative lack of congestion around the ball, as against all other times in the game.
