Interchange cap - 120 per game

Post by j-mac31 »

No cap per quarter, does not include using the sub (although I assume it will count as one when the substituted player comes off) or changes in between quarters.

Inevitable move, but I was hoping the sub rule would be scrapped when this came in.

Couldn't give a f*** anymore. The game is a stinking pile of shit these days. If by some miracle I am a member next year, I will just attend games just to boo all day and night.

Basically: Clubs don't want a rule, AFL ignore and change/put it in place anyhow.

So we'll go back to the 1960s where you had one guy on the bench, and he'd come on with ten minutes left. :lol:

I think it's a great idea and should be dropped further. Will slow the game up and hopefully revert to more structured, positional play (like the 80s!). right now the game resembles a bunch of seagulls fighting over a leftover lunch with blokes rotating on and off every 8 seconds...stop the interchanges happening so frequently and we'll get Aussie rules back!

I'd love the game to go back to being more positional (although I'd say more like the late 90s/early 2000s given the skills and athleticism these days), but I thought the sub rule might do that too but didn't. I think the interchange cap would go further to do that, but as you said, probably only if it was even lower.

Having said that, I'd really prefer if they didn't f*** with the game.

And I still can't see why they need to keep the sub rule too.
