A Glory Days to consume

The scoring has dried up across all leagues ---

Hume Football League in the 1984 first grade season the average amount of points scored per game was 215 - in 2024 after 16 rounds the average amount of points scored per game is 143

In 1984 four players had kicked over a century of goals at end of home and away rounds -
Peter Gibbons (Brockelsby) 172
Daryl Jordan (Walbundrie) 140
Peter Murray (Jindera) 120
Rod Culph (Henty) 107

Keen to get some theories from the punters on this one
