AFL: Time to decide on the Bounce


I think it is time the AFL makes a decision on the bounce. It has been a long traditional part of our game and there are good arguments to keep it. But I think if we are going to keep the bounce, then we need to accept that it won't go straight up all the time.

If we think that a ball going straight up is critical to the contest, then it would make sense to get rid of the bounce and just throw it up. At the moment we have this ridiculous system where we bounce it, but if it doesn't go straight, we call it back and throw it up. So why bother bouncing it in the first place?
