Does that guarantee it at our club though? Plenty other sides have debutants named on field but don't make the final Friday cut...
Then they should be fined.
If you're named on the field, you play. They are the AFL rules, not club by club decision.

Really? Maybe I'm imagining it then. I honestly thought that the Sunday sides could be named anywhere until the official side had to be in on Friday.

Well there's my thing I've learnt for the day.

My understanding is that for Sunday games you name a squad of 25 and then cut 3.
It is irrelevant where you have named them in the initial 25 man squad.

You only get fined if you bring into your final 22 a player that was not initially named as an emergency

That was exactly my thinking too, TTR!

You're thinking of the substitute rule, which was allowed to be a player nominated from any position, whether named onfield or on the bench.

Thankfully that is now a thing of the past.

Ha ha. I must not be as I thought that HAD to be one of your 4 named bench players! But agreed, thank Christ that's gone!!!

Honestly though, I did think exactly what TempletonTheRat said, that the only cement thing out of your 25 had to be the final 22, and you got fined if bringing in late someone other than those 25. Didn't realise the only ones you are allowed to cut are from the 7 listed on your bench.

We got fined 5000 dollars two years ago when we brought in Campbell against Norf

Anyone know the size of his hands?
Big hands. This is why he is suited to defence rather than forward. His big hands will help him mark and spoil but big hands don't suit being accurate from a set shot. The size of Collins hands means it should never be suggested he plays forward. Tom Boyd on the other hand has hands far more suited to accurate goal kicking.

I know this is expecting a lot - but bring on an Adams like debut!

I'm really hoping these two can be the pillars of our defence for the next ten years!

There is a spot for taking right now, Dad. Make it yours!
 
All the best to the kid for his debut. Future superstar. Glove mrk2.

Adams hopefully back next week and these two start forming a 10 year beautiful beautiful partnership

That would be amazing wouldn't it. Two gorillas down back for the next ten years.

And Stringer, Boyd and Redpath down the other end!
