Imagine missing the finals because you got stuck playing in the rain for the last 3 weeks?
I still say leave it as is because the game will evolve itself out of this trend

Ideas are:
- play on from backward kicks in defensive 50
- off-side rule limiting players that can be in 1 side of the field at one time

the AFL has already played around with rules and look what it has done!
lets leave it to the coaches to overcome the problem that is why they are paid big bucks.
maybe if clubs started recruiting footballers instead of athletes then the game might be better to watch.

Port Magpies were masters of that. You could argue that 'tempo football' is just the latest tactic used by coaches to achieve the same result.
