Even the difference from 2007 to 2010 was enormous. As a key forward, I went from a player who could lead out from inside 50 from a player streaming through the middle to spending most of my time up on the centre wing logos waiting for the quick kick, because teams had employed the full ground press.
16 on the ground, 3 bench and each club having a reserves team with the same setup (might need to increase squads by a couple) that played before each seniors game. How good would that be for following the youngsters at your club and getting more value for money from a day at the footy?The genus with this approach is its simplicity.Easy to officiate.Easy for the punters to understand.No grey areas.Might just work.
VFA tried it,they had smaller grounds. I really think it is worth a try.
Well, someone better have a word to John Kennedy and Ron Barassi because i'm pretty sure those blokes revolutionised football in the 60's and 70's. Hafey and Jeans must have had some idea?Coaches were almost pointless until the late 1980's.
was it over 9000?Footy was definitely better to watch when it was less congested and more man to man, flowing. Brought value to the Power Forward Full Forwards. I miss a good Fraser Gehrig G-train spectacle. G train vs Rutten or Glass... Wowee. Who remembers in the 05 prelim when G train and Barry Hall crossed paths for a few seconds. Felt like the world was about to explode. Such power.
The main problem with footy at the moment is skills imo. Skills arent up to scratch. You see mistakes that juniors dont make. Players cant hit loose targets at 20-30 mtrs on the chest.
It would be interesting to look into the reasons for this with some solid research principles, after all clubs are spending more & more on footy depts, but the skills, I agree, are shocking a lot of the time. Missing 5m handpasses, 15m kicks is criminal!
Maybe with 18 teams the talent is spread too thin and blokes who previously wouldn't be on a list now are?
Maybe the increased fitness of players and zone defence leaves players with less time to settle and make an effective disposal?
I'm sure there's a lot more people our there with a lot better ideas, so please feel free to share them?
Change the points for a win from 4 to 6pts if you score over win by more than 6 goals. Or some sort of penalty if the losing team doesn't score more than 6 goals. I don't know what the right mix of incentives or penalties should be however by playing with this type of scenario you actually won't change the game of football itself, just motivate teams to play a more attacking focussed brand of football.
Anyway that's my two cents.
