The rules regarding substitutes

Featured Replies

Posted

Just some clarificiation regarding subs:

- A substitute nominated before a game will wear a green vest, while a player subbed out during a game will put on a red vest;

- A substituted player can take no further part in the match;

- Clubs will not have to name their substitute until final teams are lodged 90 minutes before the bounce;

- Clubs that make on-field errors similar to those seen when the interchange system was recently overhauled will receive on-field penalties;

- Clubs that flout the vest rules will be penalised financially

flout the vest rules?

Anderson is going to love all this-I can see it now...just another way for the AFL to fill the Coffers. We do need to pay for Vlad's next Chin Roll (Lunches are expensive!!) B)

This is great. It gives us greater flexibility in terms of last minute changes if the weather changes or if we have someone who isn't quite 100%.

While I hate with a passion the constant changing of rules, I think we have a number of very good endurance players in our side who will benefit from this, and it won't hurt our run towards a flag.

Also Scully is going to dominate the sh*t out of 2nd & 4th quarters :wub:

flout the vest rules?

Probably referring to unauthorised colours or patterns ... paisley, floral, plaid etc., or even a bit of "product placement" (e.g., Burberry)

Now a Paisley vest i still have in the Wardrobe at home, made from Leather!!! It's superb, But not quite Anderson's taste i am guessing!!

Will there be a home and a separate away version of the green and red vests.

If not surely there would be a clash between the two sides. Possibly a light green for away and a dark green for home etc. Although knowing Anderson the away green and red will probably have to be predominately white.

The bench will be a kaleidoscope of colour - I can't wait (not)

The vests wont be worn on the field.

Of course not, but the interchange judge has to ensure there is no skullduggery going on

Anyway it wasn't supposed to be serious, nostradeemus :mellow:

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
