15 Goals

[WA Tiger]

You can kick 15 and lose. Keeping the opposition to less than 80 points will generally win you a game

Yes but kicking 15 or more makes sure of it..

Really...

The point is I believe we win more games when we kick 15 or more goals, that was the point, I didn't mention the 80 point crap.

80 points isn't crap, Premiership sides of recent times avg fewer than 80 points against a game. Defence is the best offense!

Just score more than the opposition and all good

it is crap, because he didn't mention it.......up until that post, anyway.

Chill WAT, was just having a joke.  I agree that 15 goals will win you most games but that has always been the case, it's not a modern day phenomena.  And today's grounds should be more conducive to high scores with covers, better drainage, no reserves etc.

Here's a comparison of the season averages (home and away games) for the premier team over 3 distant periods:

1970 - 97.5 for, 86.9 against
1971 - 111.8 for, 72.8 against
1972 - 101.7 for, 75.7 against
1973 - 104.6 for, 89.0 against
1974 - 116.3 for, 90.0 against

1990 - 108.0 for, 83.0 against
1991 - 127.0 for, 93.4 against
1992 - 100.3 for, 79.7 against
1993 - 116.7 for, 98.0 against
1994 - 94.5 for, 71.5 against

2012 - 104.1 for, 74.0 against
2011 - 115.8 for, 73.6 against
2010 - 106.8 for, 75.4 against
2009 - 105.1 for, 82.5 against
2008 - 110.6 for, 83.9 against

So there doesn't appear to be too much difference in the past 40 years, maybe a slight shift towards more defence if anything.  But the same basic rules still apply - have a season average over 100 points and hold the opposition to under 80 and you are well on the way to a premiership.
