Three things that he would change to improve the game of Gaelic football
“The whole obsession about kickouts, I don’t get it. It has become a huge focus of game analysis and coaching. But I just feel it’s a skill that doesn’t add anything to the game.
“Once the ball goes dead the goalie should be allowed kick it out of the hand. That will keep the game flowing and won’t allow the opposition to set up. Less dead time, more ball-in-play time.
“Secondly, I would allow the pick-up straight off the ground. I don’t think it is a skill that adds anything to the game and it actually contributes to more fouling.
“Thirdly, a shot clock. How often in championships in recent years are we watching long spells of the ball being tediously retained? I would introduce a shot clock of one minute.
“People don’t want to watch long, dreary possession plays.”
The fullback line should stay in there own half.
