Title: AFL to cap interchanges next two seasons.

No point in trialing things then when players, coaches and the majority of supporters are against it and you just go ahead and do it anyway.

I heard the AFL are planning to ban smothering the ball because it puts players legs in danger ::)

Not really. You can interchange 3 blokes after each break which is another 9 taking it to 129 which is effectively what the average is.

It's a better cap than the one they trialed in the Nob Cup, but I'm still not a fan. At least it is close to the season average. Could save a few rotations by not running to the bench as your reward for kicking a goal.

All for it.

Can't stand the amount of rotations in the game.

They should ban runners as well.

It's become a joke

There are so many people running on and off the field at any given moment the game resembles the boxing day sales more than football

Sick of it
