The first rule whilst makes sense wont work from an umpiring perspective. The umpire who bounces the ball controls the mid zone. This means he is umpiring all the play from 45m out from one end to 45m out at the other end. This is the most physically demanding position as an umpire. The other two are watching the forwards and getting a different view of the contest while only controlling play in the arcs. This position is rotated every 2-5 minutes to reduce fatigue. If one umpire was to spend 70% of the game in the mid zone due to being the bouncer, he’d be cooked after 3 quarters and his decision making would drop.

Eight simple rules (to change) to make the AFL better

Finch
Khawaja
Warner
Handscomb
Stoinis
Maxwell
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Zampa
Lyon
Smith
M Marsh
J Richardson/Coulter Nile
Hazlewood
I feel that we need two seam bowling all rounders in the squad. We need a backup in the position to cover Stoinis if he doesn’t regain form.
