Low scoring

[FlyingHigh]

Spelly, thought you would have had a field day with some of the scores today.

With an average of 53 points per side, where does this rank with same of the lower rounds of footy? There was a couple of rounds in 1987 that were very lowscoring, and one in 89 that I can remember.

Also, when was the last time scores like Port v West's 1/2 and 3/4 time scores were seen?

Interesting to note that at Oval Ave I am pretty sure 6 out of the 8 quarters were scoreless to one end of the ground .
Not something that normally happens
