    I guess our argument would be Young came into the 22, Lipinski moved to the emergencies and then we nominated him as the medical sub?

    I don't think there is really any mischief here, but typically the AFL hadn't thought through the rule and worded it properly as it was so rushed.

    Yes I think that's spot on Axeman. Lipinski became an emergency.

    But the wording is clear especially around the timings (day prior) :


    1. A Medical Substitute will be selected from the Emergency Players listed in the Team list, which is lodged with the AFL the day prior to the scheduled match.

    Surprised we got away with it

    The wording refers to ‘the team list’ lodged the day prior’ not to ‘the emergency list” lodged the day prior. Any player not named in the starting 22 when the final team is lodged an hour before the game is an emergency, and hence could then be identified as the medical sub.

    That’s my take on it. It is ambiguous.

    Well it refers to the emergency players in the team list. Lip was not an emergency at that time.

    Seems like we should not have been able to do it but it's a weird rule all round
