On high rotation: How the interchange cap could affect your club

Richmond

TOP THREE: Dustin Martin (2013 season: 212 times, average: 9.2 per game), Daniel Jackson (198, 8.6), Trent Cotchin (188, 8.5)

WHAT THE CAP MEANS FOR… DUSTIN MARTIN: A powerful midfielder like Dustin Martin, who can turn games in influential bursts, will still be prioritised by the Tigers under an interchange cap. However, a strong pre-season to take his game to a new level will be expected. Martin's fitness will be increasingly significant so the 22-year-old can be at the coalface late in games rather than seconded to the forward line. Early in his career, Martin had a tendency to fade through the second half of games and tweaks will be required to his rotation numbers to make sure he remains the consistent midfielder he was in 2013.

So now the media reports he was a consistent midfielder in 2013 - could've sworn all I read week in week out ad nauseam was how inconsistent Martin was, and that his 2nd half fadeouts were a concern.   ::)

Staff writers normally have higher journalistic integrity than columnists TM
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Does it revert back to 4 on the bench with no sub now that we have a cap?
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

The Sub will remain as far as I know, wayne. The sub is there so a team is not disadvantaged, in theory at least, if a player goes down with an injury.
