    Possibly the media execs pushing the issue. Doesn't make good enough television watching.
    Media drives so much in footy these days.
    Don't piss off old people
    The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

    AFLX should have been for the womens game. The grounds are too big for them to score much
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    They only get 15 minutes to score which is about half the time the men's games goes for with time on.

    Here is what I would do:

    Without changing the game of Australian Rules football with rule changes, just to suit all the men viewing the game (rhe only ones complaining)

    1. Shorter and slightly narrower grounds.

    2. Two interchanges same as football was back pre the 1990s

    That is all that is required. Then let the game evolve and concentrate training the skills.

    The exact solution to the problem of congestion, shuttle running and defensive zones, make the players too fatigued to worry about anything other than playing the game. But it will never happen because coaches like their job and the less interchanges, the less stratergy the less you need coaches. They aren't going to sign their own death certificate.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite
