UI Design Ideas

• Score display: Always show as “Goals.Behinds (Total)” — e.g., “Collingwood 15.12 (102) def. Essendon 10.9 (69)”
• Quarter scores: Show Q1-Q4 breakdown with running totals
• Key stats: Disposals, marks, tackles — display prominently
• Brownlow votes: 3-2-1 system — show in match summary
