Wonder if Clarko sticks to his own insane idea of it being exclusively for players under 21.

Is there ever a game where no player gets injured?
Has the AFL drawn any line on how serious the injury must be?
e.g. hamstring "tightness" is basically a hamstring strain (as opposed to a torn hamstring.) It's pretty much up to the player & club to work out how they best proceed with such a minor injury which has the potential to be significant.

Why is that so insane?
Seems like a good way to give a young kid an opportunity and lessen any "advantage" a club might gain from subbing players
Isn't that the purpose of the sub rule: to flatten out any advantages or disadvantages suffered by clubs in the event of an injury?
I haven't read the thread... Is it just pages and pages of Clarko-bashing from all the nitwits who listen to coqkheads like Damian Barrett and Kane Cornes?

Apparently Astbury swinging an elbow and making contact with someone's head outside of general play is considered just a fine.
So glad we are focused on concussions as an industry with this sub change and made an example of Williams.

Care to join the discussion dont bowl there ?
Lol his tricep made contact with his jaw. The bloose player had greater risk of injury when he threw himself 10 rows back into the stands.
No thanks, not with a Hawks supporter about Clarko. The rule is dumb, trying to make it strictly under 21 is dumber, giving a player his "debut" but naming him as an EMG is the dumbest. Enjoy seeing all your kids getting rotated as sub and missing out on state footy plus league.

Sterling contribution to the thread
"dumb", "dumber", "dumbest"
I enjoyed chatting about the footy with you.
It’s part of being a squad; everyone gets a game is children’s playground stuff

You jumped in to defend your coach, thats fine. Enjoy the season and watching your kids "debut" as the sub.
Wonder how much AFL bribed Pies and Dogs to not use their subs to make it not look like a reguar sub rule.

No, not really
I was genuinely curious why someone thought it was "insane" that Clarkson suggested the sub should be a young player under a certain age. For the reason I pointed out: it would be of less benefit for any team to sub out an experienced player for an inexperienced player. You'd have a fit body to make up the numbers but not some 25yo "super sub" who'd come in and boot 5 goals.
But you thought this idea was... what was it again? Dumb, dumber or dumbest? I can't remember which.
You got any reasons why Clarko's idea stinks? That's how discussion works. You give your opinions, then I give mine
I admit it always tickles me the way everyone howls whenever Clarko offers his two bits on umpiring, the rules and the game in general and thinks they know more than he does about the game. Apparently everyone in Australia is allowed to have an opinion on these matters, but not the AFL's longest serving and most successful coach
Why are you repeating yourself with this line?
Why would I care about who gets called up to sit on the bench as our 23rd man?

Fair enough
Clubs are not exploiting it like some people panicked they would, only used for genuine injuries and lots of coaches are happy to not use it the entire game.
Goes to show the serious issue we have when we're being told Joel has only being diagnosed 3 times for concussion.
