Still, I find it hard to believe there is no rule in place for what happens if, due to injuries and suspension, a club is unable to field a side of 22 players. That seems like the kind of thing that would be buried deep in the rulebook somewhere.
Seems there's been a law on the books about this for 100 years. It's just never been enforced. There's also a law requiring ducks to wear long pants.
Wait a minute! Let me see that! Well, I'll be darned. Long pants.
Read the other one, the non-duck one.
Let's see..."Replace players with super-intelligent cyborgs. Or, if cyborgs aren't invented yet, use people from the neighborhood."

One of the best scenes in Simpsons history.

Did Damian Barrett really say on the footy show that Carlton were into Wines? What a w***er
 
There is also the salary cap issue. Hypothetically - if they top up players, how are they paid, are they within the cap and I would say that it will very likely not be within the cap. The AFLPA will push that the players who get infraction notices are given 'leave with pay' in a way, so the league would have to approve Essendon spending over the cap if they were to be given top up players for a period. Can't see the other clubs that happy about it.

Within the anti-doping code the AFL can suspend them with "no or some" payments. (pretty wishy washy). They'd certainly have to do a work around in the salary cap to allow the suspended players be paid as well as the replacements.

Pretty funny stuff from Hughesy, but I have to ask... what the hell is with that ridiculous choreographed clap the Crows have going there?

I may be wrong, but i have never seen the inner sanctum like that before. Interesting to see.

I enjoyed Hughes, Im glad he took the piss out of the players. Was this today?

If so Im happy for them, given the week they had.

Could be wrong, but I think it happened on Monday (the day before)
