This is a very good move by AFL, needs to be introduced ASAP. No other sport in the world where a coach is allowed to enter the field of play to tell players what they should be doing. They are a blight on the game, trying to explain to someone new to the game (like my 5yo daughter) the purpose of a runner makes you realise how useless they are. They block up space and get in the way... Get rid of them please.
