We are taking about neutral games and the lack of interest in them aren't we?.

I thought we were talking about bringing in Zones and changing the game for ever.

True, but then again they've been constantly changing the game forever from day dot.

Zones is very radical. How would it be administered? Add another two umpires to check each end?

This is the most over officiated game in the world.

Yep, it has the most grey area's which makes it a very frustrating game to watch.

I would've thought the boundaries umpires would just be linesmen.

I had a thought today, the two coaches need to get together and instruct their players if the ball rolls free on the ground that no one should go in and pick it up. Just form a circle around the ball and look at it.

When the umpire says what are you doing they should all say, " I don't want to go in because I'll get pinged for holding the ball".

I would loved to see what the AFL would think of that.

Its becoming more and more like Gaelic Footy where you are only allowed to pick up the ball if you are on your feet.
