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:

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
