The 2020 Munster SHC QF between Limerick & Clare produced 59 pts, but only one goal.
The 2020 Leinster SFC QF between Dublin & Westmeath produced 33 pts and no goals.
Should goals be worth more to get a better mix of scores ? Hurling, in particular, could benefit from teams searching for goals rather than simply popping over points from all angles and distances.
Ideally, how points per goal scored is an ideal ratio in either code ? Is it six, with scores like 2-12 in football, or 3-18 in hurling desired ?
If so, how many pts should a goal be worth ?
If four, it may move the needle in football, but
hurling may need a doubling to six !
To avoid the risk of having a match lead more easily overcome by two late goals of increased value, perhaps teams would be encouraged to mix it up more over the 70 minutes.
Comments welcome.

Comments welcome." I think its a great shout - goals are an essential part of the excitement of football and hurling and should be rewarded with 4 points to make teams go for goal more. Hurling in particular should be wary of the game being dominated by long range points - an extra incentive to go for goals would be an excellent addition. Will never happen though.

Comments welcome." Kieran Donaghy pointed out that stat in the Dublin game
Think a lot of credit has to go WM in how they defended
But a Dublin side without Jack McCaffrey usually suffers on the goal threat side of things
His absence this year shouldn't be underestimated and he's a massive loss propelling the Dublin attacks
