Roast Heat Rule / Interchange Cap

[The Sloane Ranger]

I read with interest that the AFL has scrapped the interchange cap for today's games in Melb because they have allowed the heat rule for these matches (temp 34 degrees).

With this in mind and given that last nights game against Carlton was played under the heat rule the question needs to be asked why was the interchange cap scrapped last night

The AFL is making up legislation on the run

And they refused to implement the heat rule for R1, when the temps were over 38C...

Yes, our 1st round game v Port & Saints was 38C + & in the middle of the day - shocking conditions for football.

I don't mind the AFL changing the rule where it is common sense ... but true common sense would have been to bring it in before hand.

Should be hard to make a black & white rule on the weather, keeping in mind players welfare.
