The Interchange Cap

Featured Replies

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

  • 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.
