Don't get a game? Play in the reserves. Isn't that what emergencies do anyway?
But if they can be pulled in at anytime they could not be playing reserves? sometimes reserves dont even play in the same state

Don't get a game? Play in the reserves. Isn't that what emergencies do anyway?
Can anyone explain to me why we need to limit rotations?
I dont get this either. Some think that limiting rotations means we will get better footy played like it was back in the day. I have rewetted a heap of games from back in the day recently... the best games now are better than the best games then. If you take nostalgia out of it and look at skills, pace, tactics etc there is a huge difference.
I hope they dont go below 120. Now they have the limit though they should just have four on the interchange. If they are still concerned they could possibly have a sub for injuries and concussions only. But I think four on interchange is the way to go personally.
I would increase it to two subsHypothetical question. If you were in charge of the AFL rules committee and could make one change this season (which would come into imediate effect), what would it be?
For me - bye bye sub rule.
No it isn't. It was used as a tactic to get holding the man frees before they made it holding the ball.Scrap the rule "if a player has a hold of your jumper and you bounce the ball it's holding the ball" idiotic and unnecessary.
Definition of a bogan footy post right here.Remove sub rule.
No free kick for those that duck.
No fines or suspensions for melees. Bring back the fights.
Buries heads in hands. So you will have lots of players not playing every week?Have a choice from 3 for the sub. So 3 on the bench and a sub from a choice of 3. Can make some more tactical choices for the game by having a defender, mid, forward etc.
So you want the game to be netball? In my day putting the head over the ball and charging into contests was courageous and worth respect.This.
It will also reduce headhigh collisions because the players will not be rewarded for going head first into tackles.
Nah you're right. No contact at all! Should be like netball.Definition of a bogan footy post right here.

The ball. But charging into another player is even more courageous. Kudos I say. If they are willing to risk serious head injury just to get a free then at the very least they deserve that free.Quite the jump.
Did you lead with your head in order to get the ball or to obtain a free kick?
I was referring more to your first two comments.Nah you're right. No contact at all! Should be like netball.
I'm not so sure I would agree with the part in bold. Man in front has always been considered the better positioning.i wouldn't call getting rid of the sub making a new rule, It's more like deleting a silly one.
If i could change one rule it would be to make the push in the back only applicable when a player is either being tackled, or in the act of kicking or on a lead.
A Push in the back in a marking contest of strength should be A'okay in my opinion. Its not dangerous and it rewards the player with better body positioning and strength,
Getting rid of a permanent rules committee who have to make changes to justify their own existence might be a good start though.The problem with "lets leave the rules alone for 5 years" is that players and tactics evolve. There would be some new tactic that makes fans confused and angry and we would have to be stuck with it for the next 5 years.
Are you serious? You're not meant to win the game if you send the ball out of bounds - not because you hit the goalpost. What a thoroughly stupid commentThe chances of hitting the post are pretty slim. If that happens you obviously werent meant to win the game.
