Why goals in afl are worth 6 points?

Answer 1

A field goal is worth 6 points when:

• Its a fake field goal and the kicker or holder throws a td pass or runs the ball into the endzone
• a kick is blocked and the blocking team runs the ball into the endzone
• you are in a fantasy league who awards 6 points for extra long Field Goals

Answer 2

A touchdown without extra point is 6 points, a regular feild goal is 3 points, and a safety is worth 2

Answer 3

Its 6 points because a feild goal is half of what the actually touchdown is. (3)

Answer 4

As the inventors of Australian Rules Football were cricketers they made a goal worth 6 points, the same as the maximum that can be scored in a cricket shot, 6 runs, excluding over throws.
