HotSausage69's proposed rule changes

[HotSausage69]

G'day football fans, HotSausage69 here. As most of you would be aware, the AFL have today announced nine new rule changes for 2019. It has been met with mixed feelings, largely negative, however the easing of the hands in the back rule has been widely received as a good move. I've come up with some rule changes of my own that I feel would add to the spectacle of the game and would like some feedback.

1. The rage cage. The rage cage is an 'anything goes' 4x4m wire cage situated in front of the interchange that players are sent to if they're naughty. The players also have the option of entering the cage by choice where they will be free to fight opposition players without the consequence of being suspended. This allows players to blow off some steam without it impacting the play and gives the fans an added spectacle on game day.

2. Fresh socks each quarter. The players will be required to change their socks each quarter. This prevents their sock from becoming too dirty and each pair can be auctioned off for charity at the end of the game.

3. The powerplay. The powerplay is a period of 5 minutes that a team can put an extra 2 players on the ground. It can be implemented at any stage of the game but only one team at a time can use their powerplay. A big red button will be set up in the coaches box that can be pressed, causing sirens and flashing red lights to appear on the playing field that signifies the team is in a powerplay. Could see some interesting tactics evolve over time. Do you send the extra numbers around the ball? Need an extra in defence or up forward? Boom. Powerplay.

Good ideas or leave the game alone?

It's a lot better then what most posters suggest

I like these rule changes better than the ones the AFL have come up with.

Jakey Mad dog Stringer would love the rage cage.


I also like the 5 min power play.

Id add that you were allowed to put those two in the guts at the bounce and have 6 vs 4 going.

And the two power players have specially designed jumpers to change into while they’ll out on the park and they can only handpass the entire time and not kick.

I’d also like to see the traditional coin toss abolished and captains instead kick a footy 20 mtrs at a bin and the first one to land a pill in it gets to choose which end to start.

Game of horse, Where the captain kicks a goal from a spot and the opposition has to replicate it

And it has to be an overhead scissor kick from the boundary..with a blindfold on.

No mention yet of multi-ball ???

 

[mr bagcroft]

Yeah not complete without multi ball.
And giant flippers in the mouth of the goals.
These are to be operated by the cheer squad

No air in the footballs, then we can halve the ground size, Halve the number of players, make the stadiums bigger to get more in, then the interstate clubs can have big enough stadiums to host the GF

My only concern is that Ben Cunnington will never willingly leave the rage cage and maul an entire team.

Polec "Ben get out of the cage and line up for the for the bounce" "come in here and say that"
