The vote option wasn't there, but a 4 man bench but capped at maybe 20 per quarter would stop this incessant on / off confusion, and would force coaches to hold off on at least one until very late in the quarter. IF there is an injury after the 20 have been used then there would be the sub option only, so use the last one carefully!

2 + 2 would leave too many, usually younger, players sitting out too many games just waiting, and be very bad for player development.

 

The stoppages would be quicker if the umpire didn't faf around and just threw the ball up straight away instead of taking 10 seconds

In my opinion the game has gone downhill with the inclusion of the sub rule, there seem to be more injuries than ever and it's not right to have a player who plays 20 minutes a game and gets 2 or 3 possessions, it's never gonna help develop them. All 22 players who are selected should have equal rights to prove themselves, usually if a player plays well as sub they'll be picked again as sub, otherwise they'll be dropped. Bring 4 interchange back, perhaps with a rotation cap. That should be an option on this poll anyway

the game is so less watchable since the rotations started increasing. whatever it takes to reduce them is what im in favour of. Remember 10 years ago, most players played all or nearly all of the game and they still coped. they cover more ground now, but thats the reason its so congested.. in teh geelong freo game i counted 33 players inside the F50. thats just ridiculous. the players need to be slowed down a bit to make the games more positional again. maybe even cancel the sub altogether, just cap the rotations or slow them down by putting time minimums on them. bring it back to the good old days.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
