@Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2768 - 20/03/2025 Honestly, I really don't wish to be "complicated". As a fourth consideration, total pts only (your e.g. 93) works. The reason for breaking out goals would be to preserve tradition. With each Arc worth 66% of a goal, they are significant too - so, I'd suggest, we break out both or neither. As for one-pointers, breaking out all three scoring types along with total pts is a bit much. So, I rank my preferences as: GAT GP (i.e. current P, incl A) GAPT T Upon further reflection, would a 3.5-1.5-1 (7-3-2) scale be ideal, rounded down (or up), if we can't have decimals. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3166 - 20/03/2025 15:02:34 2597495 Link

The handpassing count was still high in Round 6. 394 on average. Need more detail though. What are the zones of all that handpassing? A team can go forward at pace with handpassing. The lateral handpassing going nowhere is the problem. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8638 - 22/03/2025 07:42:36 2597741 Link

I'd like - must kick from zone with most hand passes. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3166 - 22/03/2025 21:04:05 2597855 Link

Replying To omahant: "That's an interesting stat - what's your solution - hand passes must go forward? I'd like - must kick from zone with most hand passes." The FRC seem to be of the belief that the rule changes will encourage more kick passing. Kerry and Dublin utilised kick passing last weekend. Been a lot of rule changes obviously. The next few weeks should reveal more on if more teams are encouraged to utilise kick passing. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8638 - 23/03/2025 08:06:37 2597893 Link

The one thing I'd hope for is that as passing excessively through the hands zaps more energy under the new rules, teams would use more kick passing as a means of preserving that energy. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3166 - 23/03/2025 13:35:14 2597945 Link
Replying To omahant: "That's an interesting stat - what's your solution - hand passes must go forward? I'd like - must kick from zone with most hand passes." If the new rules result in a better spectacle then the objective will be achieved. I for one won't be obsessing regarding stats about kick and hand pass ratios. So if the spectacle is better no solution to the number of handpasses needed sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 860 - 23/03/2025 13:35:25 2597946 Link
Can anyone say that the football we have seen since the "tweaks" is inferior to last years football? The Mayo Donegal match on Sunday had most of what a football match should have. Long range scores, goals, high fielding, some short kickouts going wrong, a few balls kicked into the ff line (by two historically running teams). No pulling and dragging, no delaying frees etc. There is a lot to like about the game now. I thought that they should have let the keeper roam, but to be fair, it better now that you dont have every keeper in the country running up the pitch and the forwards handpassing around waiting for him to drag his ass up the field. The Junior keeper can go back to drinking pints and standing in goal without having to run 15km per match. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1288 - 25/03/2025 13:14:38 2598531 Link

With "Advanced Mark" execution so infrequent, should the 'reward' be further enhanced: After an Advanced Mark, the team gets BOTH 'bites of the cherry' - i.e. ALWAYS come back for the Mark, regardless of whether the initial advantage resulted in a score or not. Potentially then, the Mark could result in a four-pts play ( goal & point) or two one-pointers. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3166 - 30/03/2025 15:30:50 2599467 Link

Why not award 4 points for catching. No need to kick it afterwards. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1288 - 01/04/2025 14:34:35 2599948 Link
Replying To tirawleybaron: "That definitly wont fly, most people dont even want the mark we have. Why not award 4 points for catching. No need to kick it afterwards." The pre-FRC Advanced Mark was a joke - just catch the ball waist high from a short kick. I don't hear the same complaints with the new version, apart from it being rarely used. In lieu of a 4-pts goal, my suggestion could be a better alternative to award the 4 pts. omahant (USA) - Posts: 3166 - 01/04/2025 19:23:59 2600015 Link
