CROSSING THE RUBICON

Final interchange to be: Jetta, Martin, Maric, Petterd.

Maric or Jetta to be sub, no chance for it to be Martin or Petterd again.

My choice for sub: Maric.

May be Jetta though, because he'd be more of a game changer with his pressure and tackling.

Although... If Maric were able to take advantage of a fatigued opponent and get more of the footy, with more time to use it, he could be really damaging.

It will be interesting to see.

(the game within a game!)

Hahahaha if you're joking - that's gold, and if you're not - it's still an appropriate response!

Bloody Ryan Ferguson...

Bloody Ryan Ferguson...

I reckon with one big pre-season he might just become a player.

great call as buddy will run chippa alot.

So im looking at the teams Melbourne are pretty strong

Who will run with Batemen and who on Mitchell

Im also worried that Hawks rove Jamar particularly well What should our strategy be? Maybe hit forward in stead of tapping typ groind and run on Worth a try?

Petterd would be stiff to find the green jersey again I suppose. Jetta might give that bit of energy through the characteristics you mention. And yes you were right....here's your set of steak knives.

Agree a game within a game..but I doubt Clarkson would be worried about it. He'd have plans for each of the three candidates.

PS. I will say this, the sub has created extra interest for AFL followers.

It creates a distinct advantage for a team that doesn't suffer an injury forcing the use of the substitute, when playing against a team that does.

Hardwick & the Tigers may beg to differ (they say hi !) ! (Re: Jack Riewoldt)

Overall though, you would be right in most cases. Limiting rotations for one team and not the other through injury (particularly early in a game) would have to have a telling effect.

On top of all that, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the players do lay an official complaint through the AFLPA regarding the sub and that it should be reviewed.

that will be brilliant if it happens

Particularly if Green kicks 5 on him
