Now, who is running the game of AFL football.

Who is in control of your footy team?

Is it the coach? Or has the power been handed over to sports scientists?

Rotations/interchanges are rising each year.

The Hawks have the individual record of 156 coming out of last week's game. That record is likely to be short-lived.

Freo and the Western Bulldogs created a combined new match record of 294.

Coaches are being herded to the boundary line, and now coach from a spot where their viewing is very limited.

So who is calling the shots?

A decision on capping or not capping rotations will be made in the coming months, and it will be made for the good of the game as a whole, other than individual club lobbying.
