Sub Rule gone!!!

[Tigertool]

It'll be interesting to see how much it will effect a team in the late stages of a game if a player goes down in the first 5 minutes. This year you'd use a sub, and have 3 on the bench with 120 rotations for 120 minutes.

Next year you'll have 3 on the bench and 90 rotations for 120 minutes.

My idea was always get 5 or 6 on the bench. At least it gives more players a chance to play 1sts.

 

[TigerBalm]

I'm warming to the idea that rotations can only be made when a goal is scored.

THIS !

 

[Sintiger]

Lloyd will be one of the two last subs ever in October 8-

90 rotations is not going to make any difference to the game .Our second game against carlton one of pur worst wins for the year slow contested game we had 95 rotations .

Dimma says that Dusty is our most rotated player. I wonder how the club & Dusty handle it next season.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Less rotations may spell the end of the mandatory run to the bench after kicking a goal for the player that did it.

 

[martyshire]

I like the change puts us in agreat possie r.e our mids that are genuine threats in fwd line

Agree. Also it adds another element to the Stevie J idea in the paper the other day.

Leave him to have a rest up forward.
I wrote about this incident a season or so back.
Dusty got a goal in the far forward pocket then ran to the bench. Just as he got there he was told to go back. So he did - which meant he'd just run about 150 metres.
Bounce of the ball - kick forward and Dusty snags another from same spot. So he ran again to the bench and this time got subbed.
He needed a rest then from all that additional unnecessary running.
Should have stayed in the pocket both times.

Kreuzer + Maric

Another ridiculous decision from the AFL. Clearly they've forgotten what a huge disadvantage teams had when they copped an injury

Just noise to take the focus off Norf tanking

The interchange bench should be removed, ideally.

Yep.

I can see this being the main issue next season throughout the media when clubs and coaches start complaining.

 

[Columbo]

Ya just stick your injured player in the fwd pocket like the good ol' days....

 

[Brettstigers]

Less rotations = greater reliance on athleticism

Can't go too far with IC reductions - I like watching footballers not marathoners (platonically of course)

Like the sub rule gone, didn't like a player losing form by being in the 1s

 

[CarnTheTiges]

KB won't be happy until it's just like the old days when we had a 19th and 20th man on the bench.

Like they had it in 67,69,73 & 74.....

I was more thinking of Ted Hopkins in 1970. There are old Collingwood supporters who still have sleepless nights over that game.
