why not make it 4 on the interchange and then your 3 emergencies are your 3 subs which can ONLY be used if there is an on-field injury? so no one is a man down or whatever.

    Leave the field of play and you're OFF

    It is the only way to save the game from becoming pseudo Rugby with Soccer interspersed

    I am sick and tired off the rolling maul

    I've become bored with the game with the congestion & the lack of one on one matchups, and the lack of run & the lack of stars like Lockett/GAblett snr, or the Schwartz's... the Farmers, the Doulls, the Vanderhaars, etc.

    I've been watching opposition less & less over the last 6 years or so, & I thought it was purely because we needed to total rebuild this club.

    But I see it's more than that.

    The game is too soft, & too many changes from the bench is killing the game.

    Attendants at the MCG during a Big mid week occasion told me in conversation that the players from the '80s & before barely watch the game anymore.

    The game is losing it's entertainment appeal...

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
