Nine points for a goal outside 50. You have an arc and you're not utilising it, which is beyond ridiculous and amateurish. My basketball mate cannot understand why you have a line across the field and I say to him "it's all for aesthetics".
Opinion What have you always wanted the AFL to introduce that would benefit the competition?

The rule for out of bounds being similar to basketball's rule. ie the ball is only out once it hits the ground, object or a player who is out of bounds.
This would make it way easier for boundary umpires to judge when the ball is out as they could if a players foot is over the line. Its practically impossible for boundary umpire to determine from a distance if an oblong ball has crossed a curverd vertical plane.
Would also see players launching from the field of play to try and keep the ball alive before it hits the ground.

It helps the umpire measure stuff as well (like 50m penalties) because unlike US football and Rugby we dont have line markings making that job easy, and it's useful for the 6/6/6 rule.
I'd like 2 less players on the ground, and 2 more on the interchange.
That and a fair draw (each side plays each other once, H&A rotate annually).
Red card system. Reviewed by off field umpire.
Get rid of all these bullshit rules to stop congestion and replace then with one rule
there must be at least 6 people on each end of the field.
job done....

I'd just love it to be run an actual proper league without completely compromised fixtures.
But get rid of priority picks as well if you do this.
Answering the OP.... home ground finals incl the GF.
Just my opinion.

This is something that has always annoyed me. Far too many spots on AFL team lists occupied by kids who may or may not turn out to be good players. I've seen many good players in the SANFL aged 22-25 who really should have been playing AFL.

Relegation and elevation To and from a secondary competition .
If it were a true sporting competition that would be a wonderful thing, but as AFL is a multi billion dollar industry, that's not going to happen.
We all know how much money is the absolute decider of the afl
well except when we had two states covid free and able to have crowds and the afl chose the state that isnt interested in footy.
Yep, keeping the money is the reason.
And if it were a world leading sport, it wouldn't happen because making more money would be the reason.
And if the AFL was a broke on its arse industry, it wasn't going to happen because needing the money is the reason.
Yet somehow all these other world sports find a way to be fair in its fixturing.
Its an Australian (aka Victorian **** measuring contest) thing. Because "our comp is different".
And you're right. It wont change.
But that wasnt the question.

1) A home & away fixture that is actually home & away. Would most likely require a 13 team comp or a two tier relegation setup.
2) A constitution put in place that prevents flippant rule changes for the betterment of the game. Allow the sport to naturally adapt to the fixed interpretations as time rolls on as opposed to rules interpretations differing on a weekly basis in the interest of 'aesthetics'.

Better contract/salary cap rules like the NBA. No soft cap with tax, but guys like Lever, Boyd, Scully being bought with huge contracts is a joke. Max contract for any player in a 40 player per list, $13m cap comp should be about $1-1.5m a year.
If you sign a 5 year, $500k a year deal that is what you get unless you choose to retire. If a team comes along after a year and wants to trade for you, they trade for that contract. No Brad Hills chasing extra money while under contract. No Jon Pattons (who was a salary dump and reportedly on big money for this year) renegotiating. St Kilda would've traded for Hill's remaining 2/3 years, Hawthorn would've got Patton's say $750k in this year's cap and from 2021 is a new deal. A pre-agent (Shiel, Wingard etc) should still become a free agent when their 8 years are up.

10 day contracts. It’s time the AFL introduced it.
A club can sign a player ANYTIME during the season. Rather then waiting for the mid-season draft, club’s should have the ability to sign a player right on the spot.
Any player(s) who are signed to a 10 day contract, their pay should be part of the salary cap.
If a team is happy with how that player is performing after their 10 days is up, that team can then sign that player for the remainder of the season.

2 WA, 2 SA, 6 Vic, 1 QLD, 1 NSW (with the last 2 I being generous in order to help expansion).
You can have promotion/relegation, but we should probably agree to adjust the state balance every, 10 years(?) so if/when the game expands in NSW/QLD, they can take over the 2nd SA slot.
