Does anyone know why we finished with 17 players on the ground?
I thought the 16 interchange rule thing meant a free in the goalsquare, but that didnt happen, unless that is if you replace them.
It was the last like two mins on the game.
I heard there was something wrong with the countdown clock, not sure if that had anything to do with it.

I think Blake stumbled off with a minor injury in the closing minutes. We must have already used all 16 interchanges and so wasn't able to replace him.
The free shot at goal only applies if we try to put another player on I think. If we just take a player off and don't replace him I think it is fine. Of course that leaves you with two options:
A) Don't replace him a play the rest of the quarter with 17 players.
OR
B) Replace him, get penalised and play the rest of the quarter with 17 players and give away a shot at goal from the goal square.
Not really any point replacing a player really. Unless I'm missing something.

Another stupid rule.
The thing about playing a sport is that it should be universal.
It should have the same rules.
Can just imagine a defender in round 1 getting confused, and getting caught on the goal-line trying to play-on rather than conceding 3 points.
Dimwit needs to get the message from the clubs.
ONE set of rules.
And ONE interpretation.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

One day cricket and 20/20. What is wrong with making the night comp different from the proper stuff after all they are only practice matches. And by the way the clubs couldnt give a stuff about the rules. the only thing they care about is the interchange.Enrico_Misso wrote:Another stupid rule.

Ah it could have been Blake went off. And someone came off after him (41 or 42) but wasnt replaced. So if thats it, I suppose 41/42 was meant to come off, but Blake came off before that and 41/42 came off anyway.
It is irrelevent in the end. But I thought it was interesting.

The game was already won and percentages don't count.
We should have sent someone on.
It would have shown alcholics anonymous Adrian Anderson and Andrew Dumb-metriou up for the idiots they are.
We could then have appealed to the AFL commission claiming "outside interference by the time keepers" because the count down clock that was supposed to be available to players in conjunction with this rule was not working.

excuse my ignorance but didnt we have a rule change a few years ago to allow kickings straight after a behind to speed the game up a bit to only now have limited interchanges to slow it down ?

May not be a great rule but when should we these rules. In the the NAB cup and that is where it is being used. Not sure AD would have anything to do with the rule but lets get stuck into him. Maybe AF should run the AFL.ace wrote:The game was already won and percentages don't count.
