I like the sub when we get a player injured in the first half. I don't like it when we use it to give a fringe player 15 minutes to prove himself at the end of a game.
Yep and it *s with the youngsters continuity with where and how much they play week to week.It's such a crap rule, who wants jet besides Bartlett and Vader?
Coaches hate it
Players hate it
Fans hate it
They should implement a 4 interchange plus sub for injured player rule. Sub is only for injured players but then again, it could be exploited.
this leaves the same situation, just with the 23rd picked player not 22nd. That player will still have to sit out from reserves footy that weekend. could potentially be worse as that player may sit out the reserves game (would have to in case he is required for the majority of the game) and then get 0 game time if there is no injuryThey should implement a 4 interchange plus sub for injured player rule. Sub is only for injured players but then again, it could be exploited.
If true will totally change recruiting dynamics again. Hope it's true.
Anyone got stats on if subs have reduced injuries?
Didn't we used to have just two on the bench? We've all gone soft!
I Heard that Gillon was never a fan of the sub rule and given that the coaches have lobbied pretty strongly Gillon sees this as a quick win to rebuild the relation between the coaches and AFL HQ
