Interchange cap to help Tigers, LadeHerald-Sun
February 28, 2016RICHMOND is confident the reduction in AFL interchange from 120 to 90 this season will advantage the club, according to Tigers assistant coach Brendon Lade.
Speaking after the Tigers thrashed the undermanned Hawks by 71 points at Beaconsfield, Lade admitted that the club had been hoping for a reduction in recent years, given the flexibility of having key players capable of playing multiple positions.
“We have a lot of guys who can play forward, back and midfield, (so) we were looking forward to the rotations coming down,” Lade said.
“For a lot of teams, the flexibility within your team is going to be crucial.
“’Cotchy’ (Trent Cotchin) kicked a couple (of goals), (Connor) Menadue kicked a couple, Dustin (Martin) missed some, Shane (Edwards) kicked four and (Ben) Lennon kicked three.
“It’s good to have that spread. You are going to have to have that this year.”
