Players subbed out of the game with an injury should be unavailable to play for 12 days regardless of the nature of their injury, according to former AFL coach Rodney Eade. AFL
Under current rules, players subbed out of a game with concussion are automatically unavailable for a minimum of 12 days. Players with non-concussion injuries can be subbed out if “it is reasonably determined the player will be medically unfit to participate in any match for at least the next 12 days”.
In 2021, there were only two rounds when more than 10 medical substitutions were made. There have already been three rounds this season when more than 10 medical substitutions were made in a round. He said a club could then choose not to activate the substitute if a player’s injury was enough to keep him off the ground, but minor enough that the club doctor thought he may play the next week.
