Zones will mean it is not Aussie rules footy, but that would probably make Commetti happy, Hypen, I think it was a bit longer than 10 years ago that the interchange of reserves came in. I seem to remember Mal Brown introducing it in about 1975 with John Colreavy, and as I recall he was only a couple of years ahead of the VFL and WAFL with his innovation.
FD1016 Unfortunately such a move could also affect the type of player teams will draft. They'll give preference to elite running machines over talented footballers who are not pure athletes will mean that the pure athletes run themselves into the ground chasing the ball around while footy players get to where it's going. That will solve that problem. The only reason "elite athletes " survive in footy today is because umpires persist in stopping play to bounce the ball instead of allowing play to flow by paying free kicks and advantage. This allows the athletes to run from stoppage to stoppage. If there was less ball-ups these athletes would be watching the ball go over their head all day
