Is the game headed in the right direction? There seem to be fewer stoppages than in the past. This was evident last year; I haven't seen this year's statistics. Have to hand it to Hocking: the kick-in rule was the best rule introduced in recent memory. It's changed the flow of the game from the kick-in: teams are able to transition the ball more easily. The 6-6-6 rule was also a good addition and statistically increased inside 50s and goals from center clearances. The stand rule and protective area are also good additions.
What's your take? Hopefully, the AFL can build on this and push for an 85+ average score next season.
