Agree, but that doesn't necessarily correlate to more scoring for whatever reason just less stoppages and more end to end action where the last kick entering fifty is a turnover.

Sound familiar??



What sets GWS and Adelaide apart is not necessarily their ability to score easily but the rate in which they score efficiently!

Some teams simply have more scoring ability than others - whether this is because of the forwards, better mids, better or more attack-orientated coaching  etc., I'm not sure. In 1995, we scored 2357 points for, so even though the rules have an influence, I think the quality of your cattle and the coach's ideas about footy are of greater influence.

The point sbf makes is fair enough - the percentage and points for of top 4 teams is pretty consistent over many, many years. As I previously highlighted, last season was an exception, and other exceptions were the Ross Lyon / Paul Roos Saints and Swans teams, also as previously discussed. Generally speaking, top 4 teams average about 100-110 points for, with percentage of between 110-120

For whatever reason, we have been stuck in traffic for the last few seasons.

EDIT : the Malthouse 2010 Pies team also scored 2349 points for, so even Mr Defence himself likes an offensive spectacle.
