The Interchange Cap

Featured Replies

Posted

I heard KB this morning droning on & on about how great the (his) idea is, and that coaches are ruining the game.

KB has NEVER mentioned one fact, that is...When the 4 man interchange rule was approved the GAME CHANGED FOREVER.

KB wants to see football similar to what he played, now they were great days when i was growing up. But that game style is not possible unless the 19th & 20th man is returned.

This 20 cap rotation is a disgrace whilst teams are priming up for the season ahead.

I agree with Malthouse, Neeld, Clarkson etc who have spoken out.

KB put a sock in it please. You are wrong and out of touch....

 

I think the game should move to something like 5-7 subs and no interchange. This would give enough room to take off injured or poorly-performing players, but eliminate the ridiculous burst running that has taken over our game. No sport that lasts 2 hours should be able to have the word "burst" in it. AFL needs to go back to an endurance game. That's where it thrives, IMO.

when does the Human race ever regress?

Your idea has merit but it won't happen.

The game will get faster, it has since 1897.

A player will collapse and be in serious trouble if an interchange cap is enforced.

People of KB's vintage just do not understand, but then he is a strange little man.

  • 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.
