Could future AFL be 16-a-side?

As some have said already, the VFA played with 16-a-side for decades.

I personally believe that 16-a-side is the way to go for the future, for a number of reasons:

1. easing congestion, the elite player these days covers the ground quickly, and our game can look pretty ordinary when the ball is clogged up under packs for much of the game

2. the need to spread the talent over 18 AFL teams

3. helps out all those country clubs struggling to get teams out on the paddock

4. helps with spreading the game beyond Australia.
