Re: Veszpremi to the Gold Coast!
While reading this article I could not help but think of Veszpremi. If he is struggling with his fitness with the current system of unlimited interchanges, his situation will worsen given the proposed limited number of interchanges.

Sydney's recruiting manager, Kinnear Beatson, said a cap on interchanges - the AFL is considering three options, including a limit of 80 interchanges a game - would change recruitment.
''Quite clearly, any cap on interchange rotations would have ramifications on our recruiting philosophy,'' he said. ''So therefore the sooner we know exactly what the AFL's intentions are regarding this matter, the better.
''Players with higher aerobic capacities will be looked upon favourably, as will players who can play multiple roles. Unfortunately, there are many players in this year's draft who we are likely to have insufficient data on to make accurate assessments regarding their aerobic capacities, which complicates the matter even further.''
