Subject: Another example why Balance Rules are unrealistic

Time and time again, in the AFL, when a side has injuries or poor form, they make a change to go in with a small forward line, or Defence.

Look at Collingwood this week. They beat Richmond, and who was on Jack Reiwoldt? Brayden Maynard that's who. Did it effect the side to get the win? NO. But what can the Pies do, they have lost Moore, lost Howe, they don't believe Keane is up to it. So they go with 186cm defender to play tall. Same as what West Coast would do if a couple of their Key Defenders went down with injury. They would simply let Hurn play Key Defence. He has done a great job many times doing this.

When the Pies have no proper key forward, they put DeGoey in there, or Elliott to play a quick leading forward.

Other sides do it, all the time. Bontempelli can play FF. Dustin Martin can play full forward.

Does it happen all the time? NO, but if the side lacks the normal structure, they persevere and often get wins by doing so.

So our competition, is SUPPOSED to mimic reality. And a people in this league have stopped coaches from having the ability to do what an AFL club would do. We can't do that. We have made it as stupid as what Supercoach is. Not realistic to the AFL.

Didn't think that would have been a hard thing to follow, to make it AFL REALISTIC, but it is hard for some.
