I helped out coaching yesterday for the first time and I tell you what, I struggled to use my bench enough, had about three guys who I just couldn't get on and really changed my perspective on the extended bench. But, if we didn't these guys wouldn't play at all, I feel for all the coaches trying to rotate each week, it's a tough job.
In theory it sounds wonderful... Yeah 25 blokes get a game, how great for participation
But like u, when u actually sit there on the bench and see how demoralized at least 5 to 10 players become, knowing they'll barely get 2 quarters on the ground, u soon cop a feel that its not an enjoyable day out for many especially after all the effort each individual puts in to prepare themselves to get there
And like u say what also a difficult proposition for the coach having to play rotation rotation rotation all day instead of being to watch the game
Did u notice or observe after the game or at club last night, the evil eyes from those who spent most of the game on the bench? A few shitty boys around?

Every time you see a trainer, kick a new footy at training, get strapped, put ice on an injury, pull on a clean guernsey, get advice from your coach, have a hot shower...all that is possible because you paid subs, which generally falls way short of what it actually costs a club to have a player for the season.

If only we could trust both coaches at the start of the game to name their worst player and have a mutual agreement for them to man up on each other!
