A solution to current congestion problem without rules change

[Somebody]

It's simple, lighter balls. If kicks and handballs can go further, then much more space needs to be defended and the current 36 players within 30 metres will have to spread out.

Lighter balls and roofs.

Why stop there? Let's just move the whole game to computers, players woudln't even have to leave the house!

Multi-ball would mean that each team would have to dedicate half their team to crowding around each ball, resulting in less congestion. Multi-ball is the way of the future

Should be a lighter (weight) pink footy. Also if you get touched when you have the ball then free kick. Essentially it’s touch footy.

Also I would support the use of multiple footballs and the use of powerplay periods (one quarter where only 5 Oppo players allowed on the field)
