Reckon the umps have Heeney in their SC. Gave away a clear free late in that qtr which would’ve resulted in a crows shot at goal but wasn’t paid. Instead ball rebounds out of the 50 and comes back in for a Heeney intercept mark + rebound 50 effective kick pretty sure. Probably a 20 pt swing in pts right there.
People don’t seem to be getting their heads around how the scoring is impacted.
What’s changing is the variance of scores. Low scores get worse, and high scores get inflated. Because the implication is that what the players are doing in the shortened game, will be extrapolated identically as if they are playing a full quarter. This is the only way for the 3300 to be catered for, which is why we are seeing extreme scores.
You can look at at Heeney having 8 touches, and say that’s not worth 89 points under the old scoring (ie Full length quarters). Because it’s not. The 89 is a (full game) inference based on what he’s done in the limited time.
