Very rarely do I agree with the views of Duffield, but I do on this.

The AwFL is so busy trying to be the innovator and world leader in sport that it is going to ruin our great game. This concept is not footy, and never will be. All the shortened versions of other sports are able to be done because these sports are structured, and with the exception of basketball, have an offside rule. Maybe the big bosses of the AwFL should apply for jobs at the NRL, ARU, Netball Australia and NBL, and leave governing of footy to people who want to keep footy as footy, not some bastard hybrid of netball, bball and the rugby codes with yankee $ corruption thrown in.
Duffield's point about using the money to build the lower grades could not be more timely.
