Pick 40: Kane McAuliffe

[FooffooValve]

There ya go subbed on with 3min to go in Q3 lol

And went to a forward pocket

Er..no.

[Diocletian]

Wait until late in the third to bring him in after getting killed in contested ball for the entirety of both said quarter and the previous - comes in cold when the game is hot and does an ankle.....

[Francois Jackson]

yep. absolutely pathetic by Yze.

[eliminator]

Really hope for him it is not a bad injury

First time he was spotted was in the background in the forward line

[Tiger_In_Sicily]

The kids showed great signs. Pathetic decision making him sub. Fingers crossed his injury is minor

[TigerLand]

Awful decision to make a kid a sub for his first game. Disgusting actually.

Don't think we've ever done this, Hawks and Saints do it criminally. Really disappointed in the club and footy department we did this. Debut games a re special, why we aren't in a position to ensure debutants start the game is beyond me.

[Tiger Khosh]

I’m sure Dimma did it atleast once if not more, I just can’t remember the exact player/players.

Think it’s poor to name a kid on debut the sub but it’s hardly an yze only issue.

Bombers debuted Wanganeen’s kid last season as the sub and he didn’t come on at all and it still counted as his debut.

They are all bad, I honestly can't recall us doing it before, regardless just shouldn't be done.

[TigerLand]

Clubs will call up Mums and Dads to get their reaction that they are getting picked, then put him on for 12 minutes. Ridiculuos.

[Francois Jackson]

The thing that gets me is how soft the afl is now. Why do we applaud oppo players when they reach a milestone.

Why do we hang around and chat when we have been humiliated on the field. If we can do that then we can reward a young kid on his first game.

What was he hoping to achieve here? Dow was injured in the second quarter had barely touched it (again) yet Yze still managed to stuff up the kids debut.

Yze really stuffed up here and I hope for his sake his injury isn't that bad.

How can you blame Yze for that is he the team doctor or conditioning staff  they make the call and the player.

Saw glimpses that this kid has it. Just unfortunate he got injured.

I was actually hoping that Dow was subbed off as soon as he injured himself but that didn't happen.

[WilliamPowell]

The medical people you know doctors and physio make the call on if a player is fit enough to go back on, not the conditioning staff

But get your point. Coaches get told a player is right to go back on, so they go back on

End of the day the main point is pretty clear none of us agree with making a player debuting the sub

Was a terrible call.

And as an aside Yze said both McAuliffe and Dow should be right for the trip west

[Andyy]

I really feel the same about his sub.

Even called it before the game. Quite disgusted really. The kid's whole family is there and thrilled for him to get a maximum of what 35min on the field? Then he rolled an ankle or something so he got about 15-20min of game time. Disgraceful.

I believe Dimma did it also, just can't remember who the player is, but I am pretty sure it's happened before.
