A GAA official has recently announced that they may consider introducing the ‘mark’ into Gaelic football. It is among a raft of new experimental rules introduced to the competition to improve the style of play.
Another major shift in focus is the GAA trying to shift the game back to a more skillful playing level, rather than one where strength and hard play win overall.
A limit on the number of handballs allowed is also being considered.
It is possible that an introduction of the mark into Gaelic football could see the increase in participation of football in Ireland. Although this increase would be relatively minor.
The rule change would also help with the transition of players coming from the GAA to play in the AFL.
