It was actually the natural state for the Saints whilst playing us last week.Natural state for most teams after playing us
More retirement announcements:
And this seems bit is an indictment on Preuss - I know he started his career at North, but he always seemed happy to play second fiddle rather than push himself to be the #1 option
Nothing surer. Watch them struggle to kick 50 points and watch them fail to lock down Curnow and he kicks 8.Saints will revert to being shit house this week.
It wouldn’t change anything.
The 1 point for missing a shot at goal is no incentive for a team to just “have a crack”. Teams would prefer to have an out of bounds stoppage than get one point. Defensive teams actively use the 1 point result as a tactic to win the ball back.
Clearly the 1 point means nothing as an incentive to either team.
I can’t believe a half serious idea that I proposed has cause you so much angst.
If you read my original post, I also stated that behinds should be used as a tie breaker in the event of a draw. Ie. if both teams have the same amount of goals, the team with the most behinds wins.
So there is still an incentive to score behinds, it is just slightly diluted. The only time it would have a different outcome to today’s scoring is if a team won a game with less goals scored. Under my suggestion the team with the most goals wins. Which logic suggests should be the case.
It would not change a team’s approach to scoring at all.
Were we ever in for him? I thought it was weird we didn't have a crack when he went to Melbourne to be behind Gawn, its not like Pruess can play forward and he isn't displacing Max.
Hasn't played for the Giants since Rd 21 2022.
He only just turned 29, maybe we give him a call if Stanley retires and we aren't sure Conway is ready. Its not like he will have a battered body from playing too many games.
Multi ball is the way to goGet rid of the draw, if goals are level, then next goal wins no time limit, no interchange
Multi ball is the way to go
Or just go with the coin toss - whoever wins that, wins the match

Just back of the napkin, I think I counted 8 players out end of year. If you replace the 8 with kids who turned 18 today then their average age goes from 4th oldest list in 2024 to a list younger than North's 2024 list was start of season. It would be younger than about half the youngest sides of the last decade
