"Bomber" Thompson rejects NAB interchange rule.

Mark Thpmson says that he will ignore the new limit on interchange in the NAB cup if it does not serve the good of the players.

"If we feel the need to take a player off who's struggling and we've already used our moves, we will take that player off no matter what the consequences are ? to manage players."

I would love to see the following happen to show the AFL rules committee up for what it is, a group of out of touch egos who seem to be more interested in making their mark on the game rather than what is best for the players.

If a coach wanted to make a point fans could witness teams playing with 15 players towards the end of a quarter.

It's still summer in some states ... it's a very, very stupid rule.

How can they expect anyone to take the Ansett Cup seriously?

What's the point of putting one of your "better" or more senior players onto the paddock for the Ansett Cup, when it's still quite hot and he has a greater chance of getting injured because the interchange is limited?

It's very wrong.
