AFL great Malcolm Blight has proposed four rule changes to improve the AFL product.

The two-time premiership coach believes they would help speed up the game and make it more free-flowing.

“I reckon there’s four things you can try. I reckon those four things would hurry the game up and make it a lot better,” Blight told SEN’s Whateley.

“I watched the 1993 Essendon versus Geelong game when Gary Ablett Snr kicked 14 and Paul Salmon kicked 10 the other day.

“If you want to see what footy was really like, have a look at that game, it was unbelievable football; open, fast and goals.”

Blights proposed rule changes to improve AFL

  1. Last touch out of bounds.
  2. Kick length for a mark goes to 20m.
  3. Any backwards kick is play on.
  4. Fewer rotations.
