Which of these changes would you agree with and in what order?

Simplest and yet most effective suggestion not even included. Handpass has to be a closed fist only. Bye bye easily retaining possession through the tackle

Yep.
It works in Aussie Rules.

Also the 'taking 4 steps while bouncing' interpretation has to go. If the ball is carried in your hand it is over carrying. Its not basketball we're playing.

I'd find it harder to pick a ball straight off the ground. Unless of course I was on the ground. Chipping it up is much easier.

You're actually right.
Watching the women yesterday, I'd have to say I would rather stick with our pick-up.
It's kind of awkward to pick it up straight off the ground as you nearly have to run slightly to one side of the ball and lean down instead of going straight through.
Regardless, it is a mile down the list of potential changes that would make an actual difference.

Its more the ball skidding fast and low towards you where it would be a benefit and usually only time a free for picking it off the ground is given....it can be very tough to know for sure if it's a pick up or not and is a judgement call...that's the only place I could see it being of any use. Doesn't really bother me too much though.

On the ball having to travel 45/50 yards from a kick out, would take a fair kick into the teeth of a wind similar to this to employ that rule

Yes agree with that. How many times have we seen the ball threw into the net?

Plus all frees within the 50 (the 21 at least!) taken from the ground. Grown men tapping the ball over from the 14 line look like under 6's.

Valid point Tipp and may need the introduction of a 35 meter line for use in such circumstances.  The whole purpose of the proposal is to bring back high fielding a great aspect that had been eliminated and has been replaced by short kick outs followed by 100 handpasses.  By the way, I agree with the closed fist idea, only problem is subjectivity or interpretation by the ref..

How about all kickouts taken from the 20m line. Would encourage keeper to go longer.
