Ban West Coast from trading.
I hate it, even though I know a trade generally means little in the overall scheme of things, I waste too much time reading and listening to things I know is pointless.
Drives me insane.
I wish I could somehow ignore everything and just look at the trades at the end. Do I really give a stuff that Baker went to West Coast or Atkins went to Port? No but I’ve read WAYYYY too much about it.
Maybe I’ll book more holidays to Europe in October or something.

Abolish restricted free agency compensation, ridiculous concept.
Remove all limits on draft pick trading to allow clubs to be more agressive.

Make it two days instead of however long it is now. No swapping of picks/promise of future picks only. Limit "negotiations": once a trade is identified, a deal must be done within x amount of time or it must be abandoned.
Allow clubs to trade players without their consent. You can't trade players who have been in the afl 2 years or less without their consent and players who sign as unrestricted free agents need consent. All other players should be open slather.
Players have too much say now, by picking clubs when they aren't a free agent. It means houston, barass (if done) smith have gone for well unders, whilst rioli, Bolton, noble, baker are well overs. How can a North rebuild, they had a far better hand to get houston, yet can't compete in trading as its not houstons preferred destination. Either houston bucks it up if he wants to come home or plays at the power.
Also player agents have far too greater say in things

there is nothing to fix - it is not supposed to be entertaining. This is backroom club administration
I don't pay any attention until the end, it's the way to go. Trade radio sounds horrendous.

I'd like to see a literal ruck roundabout. Every team that needs a new ruck puts one in a slot on a large roulette type wheel, then the list managers are randomly placed around the outside. A good spin and then WHOOSH, a Tom Hickey or Ivan Soldo comes flying out towards their new manager with a prefilled 1 year contract.
