Fresh lush grass, which usually isnt the case this time of year, plus heavy dew, didn't help the spectacle

I plead with the AFL to make drastic changes, its horrible to watch.
This is as good a year as any to experiment
BS. The reason the game is the way it is is because they make to many changes. Good pressure footy, with a shortened game. Leave the game alone
Or even better, switch the rules back to what they were like in the 80s and 90s.woodublieve12 wrote:daysofourlives wrote:The game is in more trouble than i thought.

That is whats wrong with the game right there

You know what the clubs will say - we can rectify it if we get the assistant coaches back! They are mostly to blame. Keep the laptops and the analysis out of the coaches boxes and the game might stand a chance.

BS we all know you leave a little mess in your pants whenever Sydney kick 5 goals and dont lose.
This defence first mentality has to be run out of the game for good.
What a joke starting positions are when you have 10 goals kicked for the game, they dont go far enough. Lets have one on one duels coming out of the goal square all game. Bring back the 100 goal FF.

Conditions were shit, players rusty, no atmosphere.
See what happens later in the year.

The AFL brought in the interchange cap to open the game up as players become fatigued late in quarters, shortening the quarters has the exact opposite effect. If they want 16 minute quarters limit interchanges accordingly or reduce the bench to 3.
How often do sides kick 2 or 3 goals in "junk time" to break a game open? They're screwed now though, they can't change back to 20+ time on in the middle of the year.
