3/ interchange & A Sub!

And It's back! Open football, and real footballers will be the winners.

Agreed. I like the sub rule. Mick can go to hell.

Looks like the Floods have Gone!

I must say, I was one that opposed the rule but thus far I can't fault it. It's given the clubs the opportunity to take someone off without being down an interchange player and if lucky enough to not have an injury (as we were last week) it can be used to great tactical advantage.

Still early days, but so far it seems everyone was panicking over nothing.

And, IMO, we're starting to see 'Open Footy' again, so far, with the long kick and some high marking returning. Lets see how it evolves this year.

IMO, we may need either 3 Inters, with 1 Sub + Emergency;;; Or 2 Inters, with 1 Sub & 1 Emergency...

This is better for "Footy".

2 interchange and 2 subs, no runners allowed

2 interchange and 2 subs, no runners allowed

So, how would coaches make moves/instruct players during the quarters??

I can't tell if 2 inters could work in todays footy.

But we played with 20 players for about a century.

On the games so far this year, with 3 interchange, and 1 Sub,,,,, the flooding seems to be reducing, and the longer kicking seems to be returning. To me this is a plus.

But we'll have to wait and see if the reduction of 1, will stop the lousy floods. So far, the game is opening up, but I wouldn't want to guess what the coaches will come up with during the course of this year.

As far as, what will the Coaches do to earn their money. They can do what Norm Smith did.

I, for one would rather the game be about the players, than the coaching tactics. 90% about the players ability,,,,,,,,,, 10% about the coaching panels.

Not the way it has been recently.

Edit* Sorry skipper, I thought that question was directed to me. I missed your humour.

I think 3 interchange with 2 subs would work better than 2 & 2.
