Smaller GAA teams would improve flow of games

Gaelic football would benefit enormously if the GAA reduced the number of players on a team to 13.

With a less crowded field, long and accurate kicking would save energy. It would be a faster way to pass the ball than by continuous running and hand passing. That would encourage intelligent use of open spaces. It would develop the skills of running onto the ball and anticipation.

As things stand, the solo run only invites clumsy tackles. It is a negative and selfish part of the game.
