It actually helps the lower teams get a better score by allowing them to replace a sub standard score with a decent score.
The sub scores mainly end up replacing a player that is subbed out or is starting sub and defenders seem to be a position that gets subbed a lot due to their sometimes erratic scoring.


It worked fine in BXV last season and Ringo is looking to maybe extend the rule.

Yes you still get your lowest score if your sub scores lower it happened a few times in BXV last season.

Okay I was just thinking if you don't really have an interchange then you wouldn't be able to replace your lowest score with a better score. If coaches want it im happy to go with it. See what people say I can open a thread at some stage with poll.

[LF]

so here is a couple examples from my BXV team thread

Backs: Andrew Walker(110)Harry Taylor(94),Tom Langdon(83),Lynden Dunn(66)
Mids: Scott Pendlebury(128x2),Chris Masten(77),Dan Hannebery(113),Matt Rosa(94)
Ruck: Aaron Sandilands(90)
Forwards: Robbie Gray(117),Sam Day(100),Jesse White(75),James Podsiadly(135)
Utilities: Jackson Macrae(145),Heath Grundy(74)
Emergencies: Luke Russell(48)(B),Jamie Bennell(61)(M)(Sub),Dawson Simpson(58)(R),Cameron Hitchcock(DNP)(F)

So in this case sub wasn't used as all on field players scored better

Backs: Heath Grundy(99),Harry Taylor(46),Andrew Walker(113),Lynden Dunn(129)
Mids: Scott Pendlebury(177x2),Dan Hannebery(64),Matt Rosa(116)Chris Masten(85)
Ruck: Aaron Sandilands(82)
Forwards: Robbie Gray(159),Sam Day(38),James Podsiadly(91),Jesse White(39)
Utilites: Jackson Macrae(151),Brad Sewell(145)
Emergencies: Aaron Young(65)(M),Tom Langdon(100)(B)Sub,Dawson Simpson(R),Andy Otten(54)(F)

So in this case Day was my lowest scorer and Langdon was my nominated sub so his score replaces Day's which was good since I had a bunch of crappy scores this week haha

Yeah seems alright. I remember last year teams were struggling to field a team let alone a bench. I think the Recycle draft and trading has fixed that tho.

[picker_man]

Didn't like this rule before but now looking into it after LF's posts I can see the sub rule being used a whole lot more by the less competitive teams through out the yr, so would be a bigger benefit to them I reckon so id vote to bring it in

[popedelio]

IMO you should only be allowed to sub in a player for a player that was sub affected, rather then a player that had poor performance. We can have a cut of point like a player with less then 30% TOG can be subbed.

The only way I'd like to see a sub rule used is if one of your starting player gets a vest, red or green, you can then sub them off for a player on the bench. I hate vests!

[R.Griffen]

I like the vest rule it brings something different to the game of AFL, doesn't bother me too much in AF, SC, RDT and doesn't bother me at all in this comp. we pick a best 18 with 4 bench players if we add the vest rule we might aswell have a rolling lockout to avoid the green vest

[Football Factory]

I don't like the idea at all, i don't think we will have the sub rule. You pick a team if one scores crap oh well too bad.

[R.Griffen]

Agree with that pick players who aren't likely to be sub, eg Rocky :p

[LF]

So we don't even get to vote at all because 2 coaches out of 12 coaches don't like the idea.
If you notice all the other comps either already have a sub rule or are bringing one in this year.

And RG actually go look around and see how the rule works in the other comps.
It's easy to say don't pick a player who is likely to be the sub but any player can be the sub or subbed off anytime.

[R.Griffen]

I will admit that anyone can get subbed off but a guy like Pendlebury won't start as sub on ANZAC day. It's just bad luck that your player gets the vest

[Memphistopheles]

I think we should put it to a vote.

First a yes/no then if yes a vote on the way we do it. If no then no need for the second vote.

[Grannyboy]

No, we shouldn't. We have 4 subs and 2 emergencies that's 1/3 of your starting team, that's enough.

[LF]

We don't have 2 emergencies if I recall we voted to only have 4 interchange/emergencies and that is it

Sub rule is nothing to do with that anyway
