He's the man tasked with kicking goals for the Adelaide Crows - not an individual tasked with improving the game - but Josh Jenkins may just have solved the congestion idea for the AFL.
The Crows' key forward has proposed that teams be awarded a bonus points for scoring over 100 points in a match in a bid to reduce congestion and solve AFL CEO Gillion McLachlan's main problem.
It's been the most talked-about issue in the competition with record-low scoring and increased stoppages seen to be at the heart of it.
For these reasons, it's led to a number of experts weighing in and proposing their own solution to the congestion problem including Jenkins, however it remains to see which way the AFL will go.

"From my point of view, it's something I think could be implemented instead of tangible rule changes that effect the way players have to play the game," Jenkins told Macquarie Sports Radio Mornings.
"I think it's just going to be something subtle that could encourage or give coaches no choice but to attack."
Jenkins said the scenario of the Western Bulldogs needing to kick four goals with seven minutes left on the clock to hypothetically secure a bonus point in their match with Port Adelaide on Thursday would increase the entertainment factor.

A bonus point turns meaningless domestic cricket matches into entertaining games.

"Something like that scenario would have added so much entertainment to a game in the last few minutes when we already know the result," Jenkins said.
"You see in Sheffield Shield cricket, a team will make a thousand runs in the first innings and then bowl a team out for not many.
"You'll see a team just bat and the game becomes really, really boring, whereas with the bonus point in Sheffield Shield - teams are incentivised to get back in and make a quick 150 - which is entertaining to watch - and then try and get the other team in and bowl them out.
"I think when you just incentivise it and ensure there is something on the line for scoring and being attacking and entertaining, then we'll see a subtle shift."
The 29-year-old says it also gives losing teams an incentive to keep playing and fighting late in the competition, much like rugby union where teams can earn a bonus point.
While the 114-game Adelaide Crow is passionate about his potential solution, he does admit it would require some tweaking.
It comes after Steven Hocking, the Head of Football Operations for the AFL continues to consult with a number of individuals on the issue.
The 10th-placed Crows will travel to the MCG for the first time since their 2017 grand final loss to Richmond - when they play Hawthorn in a season-defining encounter.
