Can you think of another game where you get a lesser score for conceding an "own goal" than actually kicking one yourself?
Off the top of my head I can't think of one.
Making a rushed point worth 6 would certainly liven the game up around the goal line.
It could also be used to remove the ambiguity around touched off the boot etc as this would now be irrelevant.
A further extension would be removing the requirement for the attacking team to kick the ball through but this would change the game a lot and would probably lead to rolling maul type situations near goals.
As a result you would still have different scores for attacking and defending teams punching or running the ball over which might not do away with the ambiguity at all.
Thought it was a decent discussion point even though I don't think it will ever be implemented.
Are there any other games that score differently in that regard?

Why compare this sport to other sports? They are not related to each other and dont need to function the same way. If you wanna play a sport where an own goal counts as a full score, watch/play soccer.

You would only go for unders in one on one contests with the goalie. Any other time, you aim for an over. Which makes it not like a point in AFL, which is considered a miss.
If what you are suggesting was even discussed by anyone involved with running the AFL, i would never watch a game again.
There is no problem with the current scoring system. Even if there was, do you think they wouldn't find another "problem" to "fix" just so there was a job for someones mate who has nothing to do after finishing playing/coaching.

your life must be very boring if you cant even discuss some random hypothetical without acting like a tool about it.
