What are peoples thoughts on allowing an extra man on the bench for the GF.

Seemingly every year some poor b@stard who played the preliminary final misses out because someone is returning from injury and suspension. I know that if two players were returning you would then have the situation again, but statistically it would happen less.

[Darth Tiger]

Geelong by 47 points

Mark Blake 

Prefer to watch the paint dry

The game is not a charity.

The best 22 is how it is and it shouldnt change just because players get unlucky now and then.
