The credibility of any competition is that it not be "contrived."
Some critics probably already feel that's the case with this competition.
Teams must be allowed to use tactics that give them the best possible chances of winning.
If that's a concern for the AFL then change the rules.
Well said, Principal LODS. What a lazy solution to the problem of low scoring from the AFL - tell the coaches to be less defensive. They've been training all pre season to adopt a certain style and the AFL comes up with this! Breathtaking shortsightedness and simplistic thinking. Yep, alter the rules to be fair to all...
