Sounds like an extremely grey area. A number of players have played the following week so like a lot of grey rules I'm not sure how this can be applied. It is not reasonable to expect that medical staff can make a quickfire assessment on the field and conclude that a player is unable to play for 12 days. It is not often till the following Monday when initial scans, further physio etc are done that they get an idea. Even then its not conclusive some of the time.
If Mills is physically able he will play and Í'm sure there will be no suspicion in the AFL community that the Swans did the wrong thing.

So your happy if the reverse happened and say it was Toby Greene? I wouldn’t



As for the scan he would have already had one. And yes it is possible to know if someone will miss atleast the next week, most scans are there to determine how much longer than missing a game will eventuate. If you’ve ruled him out of the rest of the game unless it’s in the middle of the last quarter you’ve pretty much ruled them out of next week. I know this because that’s what I do for our local club. It’s manipulating a rule. If you don’t agree fair enough. I’ll move on as it will derail this thread. Imo Mills should not play due to injury & not the rule and if he does will be a weak link in the side. Btw Mills is my favourite player it’s not a dig at him.

If I’m the swans I’m blowing up at the AFL. The two teams in gws and Sydney who have been on the road for over 2 months, get shafted to tassie. The least the AFL can do is say “thanks for not throwing the season into chaos and playing all these away games, you can have the choice of playing in qld” ..piss off footscray to Tasmania

It was said in the preview leading up to the Ess vs Coll game we are asking for Blundstone because it allows us to fly in/out without doing any covid quarantine.

Well more fool us playing in those conditions down there when Gabba was an option. Wind is flukey and the first sign of any water or moisture the ****ing thing is an ice skating rink.

That’s my point. It sets a shocking precedent which we may think is great now if Mills gets ticked off to play but could bite us on the bum further down the track and totally goes against what the spirit of med sub was bought in for. I remember saying to a relative that finals is when this will be manipulated and low and behold here we are. The media imo will be all over this this week if Mills plays.

Stiff shit. If fit enough to play, he plays.

I think this is an interesting topic so not sure why it should derail the thread? Surely this is a place where these conversations can transpire but if you want to move on its cool. Here is a link to an article that should provide some clarity, please refer to the comment from Hocking. https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-...new-substitute-rule-for-2021-season-c-2371607
I don't believe its manipulating a rule, it's not that black and white. But hey, this is a forum so we're all entitled to our opinions but when the GM of the AFL came out and said that you can play I'll take his word.
Go Swans!

I cant say Im actually very happy about the ground. We are going to play in the windswept reaches and we are a (largely) precision kicking team. Only upside is that it isnt mars stadium

“When a doctor substitutes a player out of the game with an injury, other than concussion, the doctor at the time would be deeming the injury to be one of a nature that would see a player sidelined for a minimum of 12 days.”

“Hocking confirmed there were sanctions in place in a bid to deter manipulation of the rule.”
