Sub rule is ridiculous. Everyone, worldwide, will be happy when its dead. Players want to play. Playing a qtr a week and wearing an inane vest helps nobody.

Correct. Easy just to dump it mid season if all clubs agree.8856brother wrote:Sub rule is ridiculous. Everyone, worldwide, will be happy when its dead. Players want to play. Playing a qtr a week and wearing an inane vest helps nobody.

For bleeding sake.
Whats the odds that he gets dropped next week as well?
What does he get out of playing 30 minutes of top level footy and then getting dropped?

This is getting ridiculous! Let the kid play some decent game time to show everybody what he has got! Blakes game style doesn't suit the sub role at all. Eli or Sinclair are perfect subs!

Maybe we'll get lucky and have a couple concussed in the first quarter.

Came on to say the same thing, acres sub is questionable. Needs full games. Games played isn't a judge of experience anymore because 4 games is the equivalent to 1 for a sub.

Re: No changes Acres sub yet again FFS!
I don't like the sub rule either but it was brought in to make the game fairer as if you need to use your sub early then the interchanges are still 3 vs 3 rather than 4 v 3. We were down to two today so it would have been 2 vs 4 interchanges today. Now that is hardly fairer.8856brother wrote:Sub rule is ridiculous. Everyone, worldwide, will be happy when its dead.
