One thing I don't miss about cold winter night training (where cold means around 5 to 10 deg C in Adelaide) was smashing the thumbs on a wet old soggy bloated footy, so from that viewpoint synthetic would be nice.

But you'd want them to fly through the air the same way, and certainly AFL 9s synthetic and dimpled footies are not as good through the air. Much lighter and get affected by the wind and if you kick them too hard they don't travel so well either.
