That goal rule would be well worth considering. I have previously given this some consideration and this is what I found.
It would only change about 25% of scores involving a goal post. The ball can hit the goal post and bounce back into play, or the ball can hit the goal post and go through on either side. If it bounces back into play, that would still be counted as a behind. If it hits the post and goes through on the behind side, that's still a behind. Only in the quadrant where it hits the goal post and goes through the goals would that count as a goal.
