Been hanging on about this for years. But as much as I hate rule changes I hope the AFL try to pick apart the next successful teams strengths like they did us.
Rule changes during our dynasty.
1. Increased strictness and interpretation of deliberate out of bounds. (Big impact on our kick to touch game we had early in dynasty)
2.6v6v6. (Big impact on our 1 wood Rance/Grimes role, as well as out rebounding game and scoring from turnovers by having players in defense and flooding forward in numbers post turn over.)
3. Increased goal square and easy play on (Counter acted out forward lock in game, once we got the ball in our half we so often created a turn over and sent it back in.)
4. Stand Rule.. (A big part of the structure to create turn overs is cut off short forward passes. This has really hurt us)
Talk about dynasty being over, players are a bit older, players desire may not be as high etc. These rule changes have absolutely bottled us. Just hope that the next successful club doesn't get a free ride cause we had to reinvent our structure multiple times and still stayed successful. Hope that it's one too many.
