Norwood calls for fourth interchange player
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2014 1:32 am
NORWOOD is preparing an appeal to the SANFL to increase the interchange bench from three to four - with the AFL-style substitute as the 22nd man - after being stung by two concussions at the weekend.
And the Redlegs are further concerned by the accuracy of the standard AFL-SANFL concussion test after admitting small forward Kane Murphy - who passed the test - should not have returned to the field against Central District on Saturday.
Murphy and former Power small forward-midfielder Simon Phillips both suffered heavy head knocks in the loss at Elizabeth.
Both passed the concussion test during the game, bringing into question the validity of these tests.
