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.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
