Extending the goal square to 18 m is silly - it achieves nothing.
I like the idea of starting positions but it needs to be extended. Along the lines of ... each team must have at least 3 players in the defensive half of the ground at all times. Each team must have at least 3 players in the forward half of the ground at all times.
When the Swans are in their forward 50 3 defenders and 3 opposition players must not be in the front half of the ground. Other codes have a half-way line marked across the field - why not AFL.
Also, i'd like to see fewer rotations as this will help with the congestion. The other thing i'd like to see is more consistency in applying the rules. It's too easy for the umpires to shift the momentum the way the game is currently umpired.
