I agree. If there was another bloke on the bench there's no way Selwood would've been hit in the head last night.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
essentially they are saying that there was, in regards to the increase of the rate of injuries, a trend happening, and they want to prevent that trend. At no stage did they say that a sub would stop all injuries from ever happening, for that would plainly be a ridiculous statement.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
Essentially, all players going into half time would be more tired (than 4 on bench), so if you're the team down by a bit at half time, or get the injury, it's going to be a hard slog back. The other team can take it easier for a period of time, then turn it on.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
... you are agreeing with the OP?
So, we end with a bench of how many? Eight? Fifteen?
Point is, players can't run as hard for as long if they are fatigued, and as a bonus, the game opens up.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
It is not a massive failure but I agree that it can be better.
Basically we need a capped interchange to reduce congestion, a bigger bench for reduced fatigue/injury and no subs for fairness.
Four bench-players, a cap of 120 changes per match and no substitutes will work IMO.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
+1 with Adelaide and the porpoise tonight.
It has actually worked perfectly. Neither Carlton or Geelong had a reduced interchange bench after their players had to go off. It was 3v3 rather than 3v4.
It will still go to 2+2 next year most probably.
+1 with Adelaide and the porpoise tonight.
Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
Agreed. This new rule is only one round old and it has already cost a team 4 points.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
Agree with this, with the only change is a further reduction in interchanges. Maybe.
To me this makes total sense.

Oh, so you aren't stupid, you merely have access to a time machine. My mistake.

And if it did happen, that's the coaches fault for using his sub early.
Please demonstrate one game where this has happened.

Re: Sub-rule: A massive failure already
Thursday night, and Brisbane tonight had players who were injured subbed off for another player, but were then fit enough to come back later while other players sustained even worse injuries but could no longer be subbed off.

And Beams was injured.
Waite had concussion. Under the concussion rule he wouldn't have been allowed back on even if he wasn't subbed off.
And Beams was injured.
