More Rules Changes in 2021
it's not just about tiring players. players get fatigued now. it's about forcing coaches to change expecting players to run relentlessly both ways for defensive purposes. without rotations (or greatly reduced) coaches will be forced to change. midfielders will get their rests by rotating on field (like they used to) to a fwd pocket or flank etc. other players will reduce the extent that they follow the ball so far out of their nominated positions. plenty of other sports have reduced or no rotations. nrl has very few and many play a full 40 minute period. how often have you seen a long 5 set tennis match with the skills just as good in the 5th set as the first, and these guys are not just "athletes" they are skilled tennis players as for favouring athleticism and more fitness, i don't think there is much more room now to move on this front. restricting rotation should in fact create more emphasis on natural skills and empower player and coaches to encourage initiative and risk taking rather than this increased tendency to defense, possession and turning players into robots who are not allowed to be creative. sure it will force coaches to rethink game plans but i think it could mean a more skilled, less predictable and attractive game

some of the best rules changes..... ....are to remove(/change) a (largish) number of rule changes made by the afl over the last 20 years.... ....not all but probably most..... ....as they have little to no meaningful benefit to the game besides, i was never consulted in the first place

i was talking of useless tinkering not fixing up minor loopholes etc 5m will make little to nothing change (plus could waste more time whilst umpire tries to enforce the mark)

after last years kickin changes designed to create more distance and avoid locking the ball in...i didn't note any real difference average kickin penetration was much the same, didn't see many playons and bounces and 80% of kickins were still to the boundary line region. kickins were still defensive and "safe" more examples of clueless meddling based more on wishful thinking than any great exercise of intelligence

why would the extra 5m at kickin be fairly logical? it's such a fringe level change, why would you bother more fiddling at the edges
