If the AFL were running soccer they would have zones to stop people parking the bus, etc

They did change the rules to try and cut out the goalless games and teams parking the bus as you say. They changed the back pass rule stopping the keeper from picking the ball up.
And they changed the off side rule to make it easier for the attacking team
They created the play off system to encourage teams that had no chance of promotion (as it was) to play out the season.
Soccer is no different than any other sport
And like every other sport, the powers (no pun intended) that be will always look to counteract some game style that acts to degenerate the value and spirit of the game.
I'm just surprised the governors of Aussie Rules haven't changed the rules to counteract the ultra-boring flooding style.

That's three rule changes in 25 years
The AFL would go close to averaging more than that a season
