I Will leave your English alone but you need to rethink several of your “points”NRL&NFLweLaughATAFL2 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 10:54 amAFLs scoring system is a joke.
Kick too high it's a goal.
Kick too low it's a goal.
Miss the goal, you still get a point.
Hit the post you still get a point.
The only sport in the world with goals that have no crossbars.
Then look how high the scoring is. More points are scored in AFL than any other form of football.
Is just so easy to score.
1. Some of the points may not be a missed kick goal, they may be a ball that has punched through by the defence to avoid the chance of a goal.Terry wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 8:07 pmSo, I've been taking a peak at the Ginats v Freemantle game as I know a kid playing for one of the teams. I gotta say......what an ugly un-skilled piece of s--t!!!!
I mean the whole point of this game is kicking the football. These blokes practice it their whole life. They must kick the thing thousands of times weekly. So why are these so called athletes so incredibly bad at it. It beggars belief.
The score is 9.16 v 2.11. Incredible incompetence. Can our fumbling friends explain how this can happen.

2. In the AFL there are no dedicated goal kickers. Therefore the 7ft ruckman with average kicking accuracy may kick at goal.
3. A lot of kicks at goal are in general play, while under tackling pressure, with limited time to take care to be accurate. They are low percentage shots. They are not set shots where a player can take time to settle and line up. I've watched a few golden point scenarios in RL where the conversion rate was horrendous.
4. Defensive strategies make it difficult for attacks to get a shot at goal from close range or from straight in front of goal. Therefore a large percentage of shots at goal are from tight angles or at a great distance. Both limit accuracy
5. Pressure. Under game pressure many players kick less accurately than in training conditions
6. Conditions. Wind and rain make accuracy more difficult.
7. It varies from game to game. Basketballers can shoot at 70% in one game and 10% the next. Collingwood and Carlton kicked 29 goals 17 points on Thursday night.
So when you said "Can our fumbling friends explain how this can happen" you actually didnt want a dialogue or explanation, you simply wanted to troll.

Pal, you just listed a conga line of excuses. Every game has goals missed from in front or close to it. Conditions, pressure, 7' ruckman ain't gonna cut it. A kid wouldn't miss. Why does the ball skew off the side of the boot?? These blokes kick thousands of balls week after week year after year. They shouldn't miss from straight in front by spewing the ball at 45' angle from where they wanna kick it.NlolRL wrote: ↑Mon Mar 29, 2021 11:09 amSo when you said "Can our fumbling friends explain how this can happen" you actually didnt want a dialogue or explanation, you simply wanted to troll.

No one or code anywhere is as bad collectively as these fumblers. It beggars belief.
