With the 2019 home and away season complete, we can now definitely say that AFL scoring has reached a historic low, as has been commented on throughout the year.And despite a raft of changes that were originally intended to promote goalkicking, the average team score in 2019 was just 80.4 points - the lowest since 1967, when teams averaged 78.8 points.The drop between 2019 and 2018 was not as stark as the drop from the year before that, however, with 2018 seeing an average team score of 83.5 and 2017 sitting at 89.5.That 2017 number was much more in line with the decade-long trend, which hovered between 86 and 93 points per team per week.The most notable drop in scoring this season came from Melbourne, The Demons averaged 33.2 points a week fewer in 2019 than they did in 2018, surpassing the previous worst of Sydney between 1987 and 1988 - those Swans dropped 30.8 points a game after losing Warwick Capper to the Brisbane Bears.While many have raised concerns about the accuracy of players in front of goal, it appears that has not been the major reason for the drop-off.Footy statistician Tony Corke pointed out on Twitter this week that scoring being down has more to do with a lack of scoring shots being created than players not converting them.According to Corke, there were 1.62 fewer scoring shots per game as compared to 2018, while the mean score per scoring shot remained essentially the same.This year's low scoring is now mostly about scoring shots per game and not accuracy The continued decline in scoring was immediately noted this season, with coaches, experts and regular observers pointing to a number of potential causes.Some experts suggested that players are now defensively-minded when they have the footy, rather than offensive-first, because scoring from turnover is now so crucial and therefore conservative game styles - to avoid turnovers - are in vogue.Others have claimed that the overall skill level of AFL players is down while many have pointed to increased levels of pressure that may be causing mistakes, both in open play and in front of goal.AFL footy boss Steve Hocking brought in several changes such as 6-6-6 starting positions and a larger area for players to use at kick-ins at the beginning of 2019 in an effort to promote scoring.The league justified the claims using VFL trial matches and proclaimed that scoring had risen by 15 per cent in those games.That analysis suggested that, if the scoring drop seen in VFL trial matches was carried over to the AFL, teams would in 2019 average 78.5 points - not far off the actual number.The AFL has pointed to an improved “appearance” of the game as a positive result of its rule changes, and the league is broadly happy with how many close games took place in 2019.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.
