Questions & Answers
Why are AFL teams scoring so much this year??
I know the connotation of the word "scoring so much" but lets keep it clean guys/gals.
Except Syd v St in the first round - the first 2 and a half rounds have yield scores 30-40 goals per game.
I don't think the defence is any worse than last year. I think the factors are:
1) Playing on at all cost
2) More active interchange which means there's more fresh legs
3) Everyone's copying Geelong
.
Fresh legs on both sides shouldn't matter.
I think a few years ago you had Sydney, Brisbane, Footasgray all with very negative defensive flooding tactics and other teams tried to copy them.
Geelong principally but a few other clubs as well perfected the way around this. They made the ball move faster than the legs - hence the play on at all costs.
I've timed a few of Geelong's attacks with a stop watch and the best I've seen is 6.3 seconds from Scarlett 20 yards out to a shot on goal from 40 yards. That's about 130 yards on the G. So the defenders can't flood back that fast. Even the midfield can't get back that fast, let alone the half forwards.
Footy's cyclical in tactics and once someone learns to stop the Geelong style attack then that will be the fashion. That might be by blocking up the corridor or staying back the whole game and letting the Cats have their back line to themselves - i.e five loose defenders. But then you have to score goals.
Of course, easier said than done!
