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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    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.
