In the latest news from AFL LIVE, we have a number of exciting stories to share. First up, the AFL has announced a new rule change that will see the introduction of a "floating forward" position. This new position will allow teams to have an extra player on the field who can roam freely around the forward 50m arc. The AFL believes that this change will make the game more exciting and unpredictable. In other news, Collingwood star Mason Cox has signed a new two-year contract with the club. Cox has been a key member of Collingwood's forward line in recent years and his re-signing is a major boost for the club. Finally, we have some sad news to report. Former AFL player and coach David Parkin has passed away at the age of 74. Parkin was a legend of the game and his passing is a huge loss to the AFL community.
