Why not share? On the clock These games are short, sharp and action-packed. The quarters run for 15 minutes apiece, with time on called during stoppages in the last two minutes of each term about 20 minutes all up. When you add in the breaks between every quarter, the whole match is done and dusted in two hours.

The team Each team fields 16 a side, with the aim of improving the flow of the game and reducing congestion. Given games are played in summer, five players sit on the bench up from four in the AFL , and there is no cap on the number of interchange rotations.

Marking contest The "hands in the back" rule interpretation changed in , meaning a player can now hold their ground by placing their hands in the back of their opponent in a marking contest. I wouldn't see huge changes, just something that's not as currently long as what it is now," Dangerfield said in As for the proposed changes to the length of half time, they have been met with near universal support from players and coaches.

The AFL's longest-serving and most successful coach Alastair Clarkson said if the change didn't impact the players' performances, he was on board.
