With the Hawks having suffered more than their fair share of losses from unfortunate mid game injuries, it seems as though there'd be a benefit to all clubs to have an injury substitute on standby if a player goes down.
I understand that there are ways that this could be gamed, withdrawing an under-performing player or altering team balance on the fly - perhaps the rule could be that the subbed out player must miss the following game.
It seems like it would not unduly benefit any club more than the others, particularly considering the massive volume of injuries this year.
