What’s net, umpire’s rotating during the quarter. Do they get an umpire’s runner to pass out messages?
The AFaiL will now drag out the fixture leaks until the WC final.
Well they are going to 4 umpires next year
It’s a weird move to drop the fixture at 6 am on a Sunday, i dunno what they are worried about though, soccer will disappear for another 4 years now anyway.

Have they decided on what’s happening with the medical sub interchange bench?
Just make it a straight five to keep it simple.
4 on the bench +1 “tactical” sub, who can be used any time for any reason to replace one of the 22. Can see some teams using it in the last 10 minutes of q4 to replace the worst performing player\bring on fresh legs\create a height mis-match.
Edit: presumably the concussion protocols are still a thing. Not sure if a club has to disclose the result of a concussion test immediately though, or if a concussed player can sit on the bench to keep the opponent guessing, and the tactical sub be activated later in the match.
How about this, 4 on the bench, get rid of the medi sub.
Solution looking for a problem.

Bring back the 19th and 20th man.
(Then again, I’m biased as those were my specialist positions in Under 12s.)

So it’s just an additional elimination final. Nothing wild about it.
Just for broadcast rights $
It makes more sense for that comp since there are so many teams competing in it, but 10th places in 18 team comp shouldn’t be playing finals
Laughable that this needs to be a specific rule and not the umpires just using plain commonsense
Still furious that Collingwood sealed ANZAC Day with Grundy pulling this stunt against Shiel and winning a cheap 50.
2 weeks later Shiel against Hawthorn did the same thing when he had the ball and the umpire told him to play on for feigning the handball rather than giving him a 50.

Lucky Hooksy retired when he did then.
Loved selling the dummy handball.
