There was evolution of the ball over the decades and while we think the ball is pretty good now, there was a time we thought a Commodore 64 was a pretty damn nice piece of technology.
Golf balls have evolved, soccer balls, cricket balls (I think, to a degree anyway), tennis balls, why is the footy considered some sort of un-improvable object?
As for what I would change, I do not know. I am not an expert in ball manufacturing. To think of something that perhaps travels a bit further through the air than the current option is but a hypothetical.
Surely it's not that far-fetched. Imagine (unlikely, I know) if say Burley started producing a footy that travelled an extra 2 per cent further on average than a Sherrin.

That's fine. Just writing off any possible improvement is quite narrow minded.
