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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
