Richard Hinds is having a big gripe about it in todays SMH. Despite the fact that quite a few teams flood or chip (even the Evils, who massively flooded against us in round 1), he couldnt stop himself from making reference to Sydney in his article.

One suggestion is for teams do get bonus percentage if they kick (say) 15 or more goals in a game. Sort of like the bonus system in state cricket (do they still do that?).Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

For example if you win kicking 10 goals you get 4 premiership points but if you win kicking 15 goals you get 5 points. The only problem arises if you have a 15+ goal draw, do they both get 2.5 points or 3 points?
Overall though Bloods, I think your idea has merit. We should be running the AFL, it would be a much better competition.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

What about the extra point for a win on the ladder like in the super 14's if the score either 4 or 5 tries.

As for draws, I would give no bonuses.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Crowds turn up to watch highlights - they are goals and high marks. Hard tackles and bumbs are highlights too, but people don't turn up to watch a tackling stoppage fest. If they did they'd watch League.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

A win is a win and is worth 4 points. Wins shouldn't be given greater precedence because, for example, a side smashes a team like Melbourne who may be decimated by injury, but in 3 weeks regain all their best players.
Likewise, a team who fights out a win by kicking 10 goals in driving rain in Adelaide deserves the same amount as points as a team who wins a goal fest in the artificial confines of Telstra Dome."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk
