The Sub is killing your team

Tuesday, 5th April 2011

Its hard enough dealing with Sunday squads & players pulling out an hour before the bounce. Now bring in the substitute. Lets face it. If you have a player in your team who is the substitute & doesn’t play until the 4th quarter, he is going to score poorly!

The answer to this is the AFL needs to change the rule so teams tell us who the substitute is when they name lineups on Thursday.

Liam Anthony, Nathan Krouker, Jack Riewoldt, Andrew Gaff, Cameron Guthrie, Claye Beams

These players are big parts of your team. It is killing your scores and we expect more issues to come.

They will not play the same player as the sub all year. The most a player will be a sub would be two games in a row because of conditioning.
