I'm in favour, having seen the number of games where a team has 2 injured players in the first quarter and no flexibility for the rest of the game.

"Nothing wrong with learning from other sports" people continued to claim. Aussie Rules has stolen from just about every other sport and has developed a thing named "AFL", a mongrel game that is cleverly marketed, otherwise people really couldn't give a stuff about it.
I just want to know what other sport has "learned from Aussie Rules". My guess is none. This would indicate that other sports are happy with their game. Soccer, Test cricket, basketball, golf, tennis, etc, etc, with a few rule changes along the way are still basically the same game they were back in the 60s. Aussie Rules isn't.
Leave the damned game alone before it's completely stuffed!!

For Mister Smarty Pants "RedandBlack" I have added an undecided option to the poll...
When I changed it, after about 30 votes, it was neck and neck (16 YES and 14 NO I think ? )
Keep up the good opinions people, it's making for interesting reading, if noithing else...

A hammy in the first minute of play, then a concusion 1/2 way through the 1/4, followed by a broken collar bone in the 2nd, what @#%&ing difference will the abilty of the coach have on covering those
