Length of games
Length of games
Some rule changes with ain to shorten length of each game. Some are minor - but the last touch out of bounds rule I am not sure about. Anyway - the one thing they never mention -for obvious reasons, but is the biggest contributor to game length - is the 30 seconds they take between goals to allow adds to be played.

Oh yeah totally agree = the AFL get paid handsomely for that 30 seconds no doubt - but doesn't detract from that being by far the biggest contributor to lengthening the average game time since it came in.

Re: Length of games
Getting rid of the score reviews will save a lot of time….make it play on when kicking backwards and marking outside the forward 50, that will save time too.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
