The AFL has released three new rules to be introduced into the AFL in season 2011, and one of them is the change to the interchange bench, which, instead of four players, is now three players and one substitute in case of injury.
I think it's the wrong move.

You guys are probably sick of links to TheBigTip, but I'm really passionate when it comes to writing about footy and I'm hoping to be a journo when I'm older, so if you guys could have a read, that would be awesome. There's lot of other writers like me on there (cough, Wonaeamirri=Star), so if you have time, it's a good site worthy of having a browse through.

Thanks guys

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
