Which game would have the biggest impact or butterfly effect on AFL history if the result was changed?

2008 GF.

Geelong go from 1peaters to 3peaters.

The ball moves more.

The team with the ball, has more control.

Watching games now prior to the rule change, it just looks idiotic how the Man on the Mark could delay play intentionally.

It added literally zero to the game.

How many people watched footy and think 'Oh wow, that guy did a great job of stopping that guy moving the ball forward quickly. I'd pay good money to watch that!'?

None.

exactly! You nailed the intention of STAND

'the team with the ball has control'

control = beauty? = the way the game should be played? = or just the C.Scott / S.Hocking / Whateley's preference?

why would anyone want to watch Geelong take 150-odd uncontested marks in a game as they did a couple of weeks ago against the Dees?

I don't think chip-mark-chip-mark-chip-mark possession is a higher form of the game.

It's anodyne.

A footy lobotomy.

Tigerball 2017-20 was unwatchable shit. Rolling mauls as the ball was hacked forward without skill for another set of congestion and stoppages. Auskick for adults footy.

Thank god we've moved on from that crap
