Be allowed to name at least 5 subs instead of just 4.

6 man bench


this would be good. if expensive though...think that's the reason it hasn't happened. But could really improve the tension of the match- different tactical options.

Why are Kiwis regarded as 'foreigners' over in Australia? Isn't it the case that Kiwis don't even need a work permit or anything to go there and work (I am not a Kiwi by the way, so not 100% on it)?
 
It would appear to be an infringement of a Kiwi's work rights, in a Bosman ruling kind of way?


Ive always wondered if this would stand up to a legal challenge by the NZPFA or other groups of that kind. But im sure it would cause alot of grief for the Phoenix from the AFC, if someone did.

I would like to see the FFA fund each teams overseas marquee player. This way having a top player wouldn't cause financial problems for the clubs, and the FFA can make sure only quality players are signed using the slot, rather than people that meet some loose criteria.

Expanding the bench, removing the injury replacement rules for teams with youth squads is other things that I think should happen.

more Italians in the league. Old, grubby, reckless defenders like Pistone who was once linked to our beloved Nix. I can think of at least 20 Italian def/mf's who would have the time of their lives playing here and raise the profile of the league a bit.

If I could change just one thing about the League, it would to make the Nix champions, perhaps by forcing them to play all away matches at the ROF.

I thought we were doing better at stamping out diving in the league.

Why bring back that kind of example?
