Round 2 - predictions, live scores, results & shit canning.

[JK]

Insane amount of hammys across the league this year

Sure is and it's a worrying trend. The AFL are hell bent on creating "fatigued" players to reduce congestion and increase scoring but that fatigue is causing players to break down more.

It's also interesting how many players are reporting tightness or muscle pain as opposed to seeing them go "ping" in game time.

Agree with most of that, but fatigued players isn't exactly a new thing

Of course not, but capping rotations has seen players fatigue earlier in games, therefore they are more fatigued late in games than they were only 2 or 3 years ago.

I like the capped rotations, although becomes a problem if too many players missing through soft tissue injury I guess.

I don't, what if a team has exhausted all of their rotations and there's a serious injury with a few minutes to go in a close game?

They probably should have kept some up their sleeve for such an occurrence?

Get the coaches to play the forwards forward, the backs back, bingo less fatigue, more attractive footy, higher scoring and get rid of this u10 rolling maul that we currently have.
Cap the rotations even more, take the abilty to get up and down the whole field totally out of the equation and out of the coaches hands. 10 per quarter is plenty
