When a player is attempting a conversion or penalty goal:
STOP THE CLOCK!
The clock can be restarted once everyone is in position for kick-off.

Man, do you realise how sloooowly a high-scoring game will go for then?? Ironically, the game would be quicker if you let the kickers take their shots with the clock running!!
TV won't like it & neither will the fans - it'll make footy almost as bad as Gridiron...

O.K. O.K. obviously you shouldn't let any player take too long to kick a conversion or penalty goal but I think 90 secs is a little harsh... (especially for near touch-line shots) why not give them at least 30 seconds more? 2 mins for a shot at goal is not unreasonable at all.
