Mid to late 90s to early 2000s in my opinion, after early 2000s the rule changes every year & consistency dropped at AFL.
Would be awful, stoppage after stoppage, like a constant rugby maul. Also deliberate rushed behinds would be exploited every close gameProblem is they changed for a reason. Can you imagine how awful the game would be in 2024 if the deliberate out of bounds rule was entirely removed, or making it far harder for a player to be caught holding the ball. it would slow the game down massively and make it almost unwatchable.
Yes, More umpires are Bad enough. Ross Lyon and coaches using similar defensive tactics similar to Ross Lyon doesn't help the cause either.The problem with our game is it's more known as "Aussie Rules, What Rules"? We have too many rules and are always changing them, soon we'll have more umpires than players! It's a hard game to watch these days.
I really enjoyed when I used to be able to urinate in my 10 empty cups of beer throughout the day and throw it onto opposition supporters and the umpires if I got close enough
