Will the interchange rule not further assist the better fitness levels of AFL listed players, or will it be the opposite, with AFL listed players usually looking for a rest every 83 seconds?
How can anyone see the implementation of both rules at the same time as a good thing?
As for changing rules to limit the "unfairness" to a side who loses a player early in the game through injury is just bollocks. Just bollocks.
The out of bounds rule the most ridiculous thing I've seen for a while. Perhaps some cones out on the ground to help players know their position, or someones Dad in the forward pocket telling them where to run.

'Free kick against the last touch... provided it was a real, proper last touch' does very little to improve the game, and encourages the semi-deliberate fumbler who just can't get a handle on the thing near the boundary line, i.e. the status quo.SANFLnut wrote:New skill in the game is now to make sure your kick/handball is partly smothered as it goes out, or even better if you can tap the ball or hand pass it on to an opponents leg and then pick up the free kick.

Yeah, seems fair. Fair amount of bullshit.

Flirting with the wings and flanks will be a risk,as such the corridor will be congested and players will chip it around unable to go wide or direct.
I really dislike that rule.
