Hall of Fame legend Kevin Sheedy recently put forward that the competition should trial 16-a-side lineups to reduce congestion and open up the play more.

And Geelong coach Chris Scott agreed, saying the idea should be considered by the AFL.

"I think we should have a good look at 16-a-side [football]," Scott told Channel 7's Game Day.

"If congestion's a problem, that's the easiest way to fix it. I'm not saying we should do it, but we should think about it."

Other ideas that have been floated around are further capping the interchange, which is currently at 90, and introducing zones, both of which Scott was open to.

"I'd have a really good look at reducing it (rotations); I'm open to anything there, but less than we currently have.

"In some capacity we should think about it (zones), but I do love the idea of our game being one where the players can go wherever they like.

"So, (maybe we should have) starting points."
