I am an old-time Carlton Supporter going back to the 1970's who proudly went to every game for 16 years with my fellow Blue Army comrades.
If the Board ever appointed 'He must not be named' as coach, I would feel dirty. Yes different generation, time and all of that, but it still would not change anything. Three people who should never coach Carlton: Sheedy, Balme and 'He who must not be named'.

Love Dyl and his podcasts but even Dyl can't make me watch Clarko ramble on for an hour.

New sub rule, players named as subs will have senior games credited to their career even if they don't come onto the field.

Looks like its time to sign Brad Fisher

Just stumbled upon this at a service station.

I think it sums up everything that went wrong with Collingwood over the last 12 months...

Bit weird that they get credited the senior game, someone might end up beating the simmo record of getting donuts for their first few games

Exactl, its ******* weird. Bloke who's never stepped on the field in anger could be a 10 game player.. or even a 50 game player if you were to take the scenario to the extreme!

And could make a kid ineligible to win the rising star, without playing a single game

I wonder what happens now with games-played clauses. Let’s say a player has an 18 game clause that would trigger a new contract but he only plays 15 games for the year and a further 3 games as a medical sub but he never actually needs to be used in those 3 games. His games played for the year would show as 18 games but he only played in 15. Seems a bit weird that that would trigger a new contract for the following year.

AFL’s medical sub rule approved for round one

The 23rd player will receive full match payments regardless of whether they play a single minute of game time, with those payments left outside the salary cap.

Nick Graham reaches 300 game milestone without leaving bench...........more inside............

 

[iAsbestos]

Why are they counting it as a game played if set player never plays a minute of game day?

 

[lily of laguna]

Must be something to do with the fact that the player is getting full match payments, maybe the AFLPA would be up in arms if they are officially registered on the teams list for that match as a substitute but not paid etc.

Legal mumbo jumbo in other words.

If you were named on the bench and never stepped foot on the ground, it counts as a match played...

 

[Ash24]

We're going to have players 'injured' simply to have a fresh pair of legs on the pitch. Silly move IMO.

 

[thylacine60]

Is there another sport on the planet where new rules are instigated the day before the season opener?

There’s only one makey uppey as they go along AFL.

Backyard cricket often has rules introduced during play ... otherwise, no

Automatic wicky is implied ffs! You don't need to explicitly point it out before the game starts!

As I recall Dylan’s old man spent the remaining time during “The Battle of Britain” chasing Clarkson around “The Oval” trying to put his lights out.

Always liked Jimmy's focus
