So no points for kicking too low beneath the crossbar.
No points for missing with no side goals.
No points for hitting the uprights either.
No stopping of play and then being able to stand and take a shot with a mark. They have to try to score while the ball is in play.
They just get 1 point if they get above that crossbar.
I honestly think they would be lucky to even score a couple of points. When you look at all these facts involved in a NRL field goal. It really shows NRL field goals are truly elite in comparison to AFLs scoring system when it comes to skill.
Would AFL players even score any points in a game with rugby goals and NRL field goal rules?

You know that theres a hell of a lot of goals scored on the run in the AFL right? Not just from the standing mark.GlobalRugbyLeague wrote: Sun May 11, 2025 10:58 amSo no points for kicking too low beneath the crossbar.

Yep and how many are above where the crossbar would be and not in the side goals lol... ??? Not too many. Most would not even count if done in the NRL.WookieReturns wrote: Sun May 11, 2025 11:01 amYou know that theres a hell of a lot of goals scored on the run in the AFL right?

Plenty of goals on the run from many different positions that go well over an imaginary cross bar. Also some amazing goals kicked from boundary line that are bounced through that are much harder than say running into an open goal from 30 metres out directly in front.
