We played the game for over 100 years with less then 40 interchanges and it was fine. All I'm saying is footy was more enjoyable to watch when it is free flowing and end to end. Coaches should not have a say on the state of the game as it's the clubs who pay their wages not the AFL all they care about is being employed
I just don't see how having more fatigued players is somehow meant to produce more skillful, exciting footy. It's not a logical flow of events. If players are tired and trying to conserve a lead and save the game, wouldn't it make more sense to slow it down and "shut it down" with conservative, cautious, defensive footy? Coaches will seek out and favour the winning option each time, regardless of what the rules are trying to achieve.
