Carlton port and Brisbane seemI understand your point, we have committees devoted to change things SO they've been changing things from day one of the national comp.
The game we have right now is a distant rel'o of what is was.

To be able to score. When we were sh*t we weren’t complaining that the rules are the reason we aren’t playing very well. You adapt and move on. This 16 minute quarter thing is temporary. Scoring will improve. Richmond’s game plan of 2017-2019 changed the game and turned it into a slog fest lacking clean kicking. Lessening possessions but going forwards at all costs. It doesn’t work a more. I hear Clarko and Hardwick whinge every press conference and blame the rules.

I agree, but see it more as winding the game back to where it was to rectify past mistakes.
That's why I'd prefer they went with cutting the interchange, at least as a first step.
2 on the bench, 10 interchanges per qtr. (possibly one or two emergencies can be brought in to cover injuries as well, but only with controls to ensure coaches don't exploit it).
If that doesn't work, then look at 16 a side, but only after testing it for a couple of years in lower tier comps.
I can think of at least three lower tier competitions who have tried 16 a side already and in both formats, no wings and also oneIf that doesn't work, then look at 16 a side, but only after testing it for a couple of years in lower tier comps.

The VFA played for nearly 50 years with only 16 on the ground, playing with no players on the wings.I can think of at least three lower tier competitions who have tried 16 a side already and in both formats, no wings and also one
less forward and defender. As John Kennedy Senior said "Don't think, do".

When the VFA had 16 the game scores were around 20 pts higher than the VFL with 18.I’m almost certain rule changes like this would only make the game worse and probably lower scoring.
I will go even further, hypothetical only.There is nothing revolutionary about 16 a side.

Round 8: 16 a side, 6 on the bench, configuration 6-4-6, all games.
Round 9: 16 a side, 6 on the bench, configuration 5-6-5, all games.
Still uses 22 x Players and the same rules, people would barely notice. After Sydney versus Richmond anything goes make the most
of a disrupted troubling season.
Hypothetical over.
Why stop at 16.
AFL Sevens anyone? Imagine the high scores!
Could still flood a backline with 7 players
How about AFL 3's? 1 forward, 1 back and 1 midfielder.

Holy s**t, is he still playing AFL football? You have blown my mind.There would be slightly less chance of us selecting Cam Sutcliffe.
I love this idea Yojimbo, you could even get all eighteen coaches and a player from attack, defence and the midfield to write anI will go even further, hypothetical only.

So a person believes that 7 and a half billion people is too many for the planet to support so obviously that person believes in killion billions of people.
Another person believes that an aircraft carrier is obsolete so obviously that person believes that no country should have a navy.
The AFL believe in equalisation so that means they obviously believe in every player getting 1 year contracts and every year every player is put into a new draft.
