Oh and I like the idea of rule five. It's the same thing that happens in soccer and they seem to cope pretty well.

Look at frees for 'on the full'. By the time they get to take their kick there are so many defenders in front of them they are as likely as not to kick it backwards.
What they are doing in this instance is actually the opposite of what they are trying to achieve.
For a throw-in, either team can potentially win the clearance so although there are a lot of blokes around the ball there are still players up each end. If they give a free the only blokes behind the ball will be the attacking teams fullback and the trainer giving him a drink.

AFL hardily the only sport where coaches try to exploit the grey areas. I doubt other sports make yearly changes like this.
The problem is there are so many grey areas in game. They just confuse things even more by changing stuff every year. If the look of the game is bad then its up to the coaches to force a change with tactics not the rule makers.
