It depends what you want.
The 'look' of the game is the driving factor of the AFL and its clear they want less stoppages.
However, from an 'evenness' point of view, having the ability to deliberately put the ball over the line opens up a whole set of tactics available to coaches and a more diverse style of game plans available.
The more diverse styles available, the more of a chance a team can win on any given day. That is, one style of play can outdo a different style of play. Whereas if everyone is playing the same style, one team will always be better at it.
