The 6-6-6 zone introduction is by far the least necessary or productive.

It will ultimately have the team set up how the AFL wishes for approximately 4-5 seconds, before players just charge across the field to get to there preferred position. Considering you also have 1 player on the wing, who can form a 7 man backline/forward line, I think you still can have an extra man back. Also, considering how long it would take a player to run from the back 50 to the centre circle, especially on smaller grounds, I feel the rule is more annoying then actually practical.

It just makes desired structures more problematic to enforce. However it does promote a team locking the ball in the center at all costs to allow player movement; probably an unintended consequence.

I can see it being basically unnoticeable as the season rolls on as good teams adjust to get what they want when they want.

The new rules aren't that bad, but what impact will they have?
