Expect Port to bend rules further (if they can get away with it) if Hayes gets injured before Lycett comes back, they’ll jump on the Covid supplementary list asap and demand to use Brooksby or another SANFL ruckman.

I could 100% see this happening. And the AFL approving it.
Classic Port/Chris Davies 101. Club can say they’re a big deal, supporters have something to beat their chests about……get to f*** over a SANFL club.
Just **** the sub off.
Either go with 4 on the bench or increase to 5.
Stops all this other bullshit.

I though this was at least a starting point to the discussion, but it's a "nothing to see here" piece.
Legit or a 'loophole'? What stats say about the medi-sub
Has the AFL's medical substitute rule become a loophole that clubs are taking advantage of? Sarah Black looks at the numbers
www.afl.com.au
Overall, in 14 of the 63 cases (22%), the Dr got the diagnosis "wrong", thinking they would miss but they didn't. However, that doesn't take into account the mandatory missed week for concussion.
By my count using the match reports on afl.com.au, there were 9 concussions and 8 subs due to this (taking into account the Swans has 2 in one game, sonly 1 was subbed out).
Thus, in 14 of 55 cases (25%), the player played the following week, and that doesn't include obvious, season ending injuries such as Sloane, etc.
If you eliminate those too, you are probably getting closer to 30-40% of the time the player comes back the following week, enough evidence there's a problem with the rule.
This article has some more transparent stats
‘Don’t play for 12 days’: Call for AFL to tighten medical sub rule
Players subbed out of the game with an injury should be unavailable to play for 12 days regardless of the nature of their injury, according to former AFL coach Rodney Eade.

Just have a mandatory week off if a player is injured. Watch the subs drop.
No need. Just scrap the sub.
A team that gets an injury then gets the advantage of a fresh player. So it’s got the opposite affect of what it was brought in for.

Maybe their doctors are just less optimistic about the recovery powers of their players.
And if we want to see the BF Port board in meltdown, that's exactly what we want. Finish 8th, lose EF, Ken stays for 2023. Or even gets an extension.
Heck, half of them are hoping for a big loss tonight.
I know it's a bit lame to say "at least we're not Port", but - at least we're not Port

Port with their current squad, its perfect for them to get as low as possible 1st rounder too.
Port making the 8, will lock in Ken for 2023, even though he is contracted, Port will consider this an achievement and stick with him.

The funny thing will be seeing Kornes, Rucci etc come out and say this atones for last year's prelim final.
The sack Hinkley crowd will go apeshit lol.

Well Farrell is out for Port tonight with Covid protocols.
So that evens things up a lot.
Dogs only have Bontimpelli, Bruce, Hannan, Wallace, McClean, English, Johannisen out.

This has to be good right? Port sneaking into the 8 or finishing 9th is great, won't win the Premiership get a shit draft pick that they'll probably sell it for another missing piece
Punchy Bassett
Brownlow Medallist
So the week after he kicked 4 goals against them and his team ran up their %, now Jacky Riewoldt thinks it's unfair to force the Eagles to play.....

Yep, and other clubs such as GWS will get first dibs on any available coaches.

Yes, well the season has already been completed and technically could have been played this month. Its good that there is a shorter wait.
Maybe the next season s6 might be released in May 2023.
@deaneus was a fan of this show.
