tend to agree neil. and "leading" doesn't necessarily mean doing all the work, but does give a lot of credibility to project puts us more in the tent than outside it, trying to get in

pretty sure they'd get game passes and a bit of merchandise, and the odd feed

doesn't have to be tiggy touch wood, just allow 3 seconds when prior opportunity. was essentially this years ago.

ffs, are we going to keep up this mfcss petracca hysteria running for another 2 years?

understand where you are coming from but i think you are being too pessimistic saying "incentivising attack isn't enough. And measures to try to reduce congestion aren't enough". I think they can work but not straight away and the current changes for 2021 aren't enough but they are a start and importantly an admission by the afl of the problem. and remember it's not necessary to eliminate congestion , just minimise it enough to restore a better balance of defense vs offense. I hate the notion of turning players into defensive robots and inhibiting the natural football creative and attacking instincts of players

hindsight is the refuge of those with no foresight pDC

oh i agree coaches will try and dig in. maybe even look for more athletic types, but let's face it most players in today's environment have to be fit and athletic anyway, certainly compared to the past and there is now a diminishing advantage in improving this aspect. sure they'll try all the tricks you allude to to maintain congestion but their options will become increasingly restrictive and i'm confident over time (and with more changes) they (at least some initially) will start to build the offensive side of their game or be left behind, won't happen overnight though. agree with your thoughts on zones. I just can't accept it with all the different suggestions i've heard. Also i don't like the reduction of players a'la the old vfa but i'm trying to keep my mind open on that one. it would certainly reduce congestion. i'm not against defence per se, it can be a great part of the game, it's just about having a good balance between defence and offence
