With the AFL plugging in rules to "enhance" the speed of the game, the stats guys say the injuries (esp hammies) are up due to the extra forwards running back / forward.
So far we've had Davis out, and other teams that would be playing better now, had not more players out due to these kind of "excessive run-with-the-ball" injuries. It really doesn't look good at all.
As much of an *innumerous expletives* that Sam Newman is, he is right..
Reading through the innumerous commentaries, I agree that I can't see many Rob Harveys, Willo-type players, lasting as long as they have if the pace of the game through these rules stays like this.
I know this is hard for us to talk about, seeing they do call it the "anti-Swans" rule, but there is some sense in what coaches have been saying.
I say, GET RID OF THESE STUPID NEW RULES.
What say you guys?
