Maybe no one person will be a sub regularly, the coaches will use it as potential ace up the sleeve based on the opposition that particular week?PJ wrote:I'm really interested to find out where this rule is going. If a team has no injuries will the sub - he who plays in the last quarter (sometime) become the bench warmer until near the end.
If you are picked as sub regularly you could end up playing 1 full match over 1 month. Even worse it could end up being like soccer where they sub in the last 5 minutes of the game.
new sub rule and the bench

Problem being if you use it as a rotation before say half time and a player goes down you are down to a 2 man bench.Maybe no one person will be a sub regularly, the coaches will use it as potential ace up the sleeve based on the opposition that particular week?
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.
