How many goals add up to a "Bag"?

[Johno74]

Easy question, but there is many a thought.

Can the numbers put this one to bed, once and for all?

Here is some history from 2006

How many Goals is a Bag of Goals? - BigFooty

[Pekay]

6 plus, or at least a quarter of your teams score I reckon. Pretty handy effort from Al Fritsch, back to back centuries in Div 2, followed by 60 odd in Div 1 this year, has vice like hands that bloke. Must've been well held on the weekend, although PowerSharks seemed to be missing a few.

[Boss Hogg]

6 or more....

6 or more. 5 is a handfull.

So would there a bag of "bagfuls" in this match, Pekay?

[Yuri H]

6 or more. 5 is a handfull.

I've been confused whether it's 5 or 6, since I've heard some announcers use both, but this past weekend watching the Geelong/C'wood game (I think) someone kicked their 5th and, indeed, the announcer said "... aaaand he's got a handfull" and I thought a-HA! I think I've figured it out for sure now.

Unless the announcer was being really, really crudely pornographic.

[CureTheSane]

5.

[Junior]

BMR, anything to add on this topic?? 6 for mine...

[Johno74]

Sanity prevailing, Junior

[RogueSwan]

Five or more for the game, or three or more in a quarter (eg: "Jetta game on and kicked a bag as the substitute in the final quarter" )?

The thread is in response to a long-running commentary team argument.
Johno, obviously, believes it to be 6.
I, on the other hand, am firmly in the 5 club, which is a simple easy to remember round figure that, to me, marks a significant achievement.
Just as in cricket, where a five-wicket haul is a bag of wickets, in football, a five-goal haul is a bag of goals.

6, quite simply, I term to be 'half a dozen'.

[Big Al]

A bag of goals can be calculated by taking the average age of the visiting team multiplied by the IQ of the goal kicker divided by the number spanners in a Sidchrome tool kit.

(Sorry i've been listening to the 12th man a lot lately )

[Johno74]

But, it's just not cricket, it's football.

And quite simply, 5 is a handfull
