Reminder
Clubs name a squad of 23 with the sub being named one hour before the game. In previous years anyone of the 22 could start on ground but that 22 was usually locked in, barring a last minute injury. The sub was named from one of the four emergencies listed.
Now when teams drop on a Thursday we actually won’t know which four of the five players named on the bench will be playing and who will be the sub until one hour before the game.
Does the sub have to come from a bench player? It can’t be from someone named on the ground?
It can be this year L & L. Sub named one hour prior to game and can come from any of the 23 named players. Should cause some chaos and anxiety among coaches I reckon.
Next year’s SCTTL starting team category “Players who can’t be Subs” LOL
Good luck with that one Jimmy……
Just get rid of the sub and have five on the bench.
Good news for Grundy, Ladhams only named as emergency.
Cheers for that, it could make a difference later on, appreciate it
We in 2024 now bro
been missing footy…must admit
Essendon: Sam Draper, Ben Hobbs and Nate Caddy will play in a VFL practice match on Friday
Richmond: Sam Naismith locked in to face Gold Coast on Saturday. First AFL game since his 3rd ACL tear in Rd 4, 2020. 1353 days between appearances.
First time coaching this year and wondering if head to head starts next round or round 2..thanks.
If you go to the leagues tab on the app it should state on the top right corner of each league when H2H starts. I have H2Hs starting in rounds 1, 2, 3 and 4 for different leagues. So it depends on how the league is set up
Thank you.
