In order to reduce the amount of players flooding around the ball at any one time, Bartlett has proposed an interchange system where 18 players start on the ground, and can be substituted throughout the game by any one of an 8 man interchange bench. Once a player is subbed off, he can't be subbed back on.
Do you like this proposal? What are some of the problems that you can see with this approach?
Personally, I find myself more and more in support of the 2/2 interchange. Two subs, and two players who can be brought on at any stage. It would be difficult to give players much of a rest under this system, so fatigue would set in earlier and among more players than under the current system. You would see your favourite players on the field more often. It would potentially open the game up a bit more than it currently is. Although there is the argument that only certain types of elite endurance athletes will be drafted, with physical attributes being favoured over skill.
Over to you guys. Thoughts?
