What happens if a team runs out of fit players?

Featured Replies

I was looking at our list and you could count on one hand the amount of players we have left available playing at Casey.

What would happen if we get a few more injuries and cant field a team of fit players?

 

I can not give a f for the rest of the year?

Good question, I have no idea. Super 12's football?

Interesting question. I don't think there is any provision to add players to the list, so you would have to play short. It would be very embarrassing for the AFL.

 

simple, we would have a team of unfit players

but isn't that what we already have? i don't understand why the question

For a side playing MFC it should not be a problem.

Most teams could hold us in an arm wrestle with about 12 players on the ground. With 13 players they could run one man spare all day.


Didn't it almost happen to Essendon a few years ago? By the last game they were down to their last fit rookie. Maybe it was somebody else, but whoever it was they went close.

Freo went close a few years back. I think they started to sound out the AFL on a solution but managed to make it to seasons end.

Might be who I'm thinking of.

I did seriously raise this question a week or so ago.

I had thought that the AFL would have a contingency plan but on reflection they would probably just make up rules as they went along, as per usual, and depending upon which teams were involved.


I still reckon Leigh Brown would be a walk up start at the moment.

So would Rawlings.

yeah Freo got close to this. Maybe the opponents give us a player for the day. Would be interesting to see :)

well , it would mean we are TANKING , bahhhhhhh

It was only last year when they gave Mark Harvey the arse. Truth be told it was the injury toll that affected that team as opposed to Harvey's coaching ability.

Because of our injury list I think we are a big chance to lose tomorrow. But I hope we win no more

tanking for draft picks although it won't be because of tanking tomorrow just crapness

This scenario is unlikely but if it happens it could spark a thread of its own - and a spin-off.

Well what would happen if toms knee disintegrated permanently.

That would be the GWS salary cap in chaos for the next 5 years.

I didn't know a bottomless pit could experience chaos.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
