• What team has surprised you the most this season?

THE FANS have voted and don't want the 30-second shot clock anymore, just three months after it was introduced.

More than 24,900 supporters voted in this year's fans' survey for AFL.com.au and the AFL Record, and 63.3 per cent said they didn't like the clock, which counts down before players take a set shot.

The AFL decided last month to keep the controversial clock for the rest of the season, but with two major changes after it was exploited by North Melbourne forward Mason Wood in round seven. 

It is no longer displayed on the scoreboard in the final two minutes of each quarter, and umpires have been instructed to stop players from deliberately running down the clock.

Fans have endorsed the AFL's other changes, with 55.6 per cent giving the new rule interpretations the thumbs up and deeming they are making the game a better spectacle.

More than 25 per cent of fans who voted said they didn't care about the new interpretations and the AFL should stop changing the rules.

A majority of fans (55.3 per cent) would not like to see how long is left in quarters when they are attending games.

The umpiring this season is worse, according to 43 per cent of fans, but 33.5 per cent haven't noticed any change. It has improved, according to 23.5 per cent of those who voted.

On the Match Review Panel, an overwhelming majority believed players were being punished firmly enough (71.3 per cent) for misdemeanours.

Fans were divided straight down the middle, however, on the question of whether the MRP had been consistent in its penalties.  

There is clearly a groundswell among fans for the looming women's league, with 87.4 per cent keen for their club to be represented.

When it comes to the Grand Final, more than 70 per cent of fans want the premiership decider to be kept in its daytime slot.

A twilight Grand Final (19.8 per cent) had more support than a night match (10.2 per cent).

Mobile devices were fans' preferred method of accessing footy news (39.4 per cent) ahead of online (37.4 per cent) and TV (14 per cent).

On a lighter note, 2.1 per cent of fans have named a child after an AFL player, while 13.6 per cent have named a pet after one of the game's stars. 

A committed 38.77 per cent of fans would quit their job to see their team in the Grand Final.
