Why do they need to name players coming of and on the bench?

Question

What is wrong with just having someone at the line and say go when one player is off for the other to go on, who likes this new rule in the AFL?

Answer 1

The rule is just stupid. The rule was fine before. AFL, just leave the rule alone..!!!!

Answer 2

It is a stupid rule. I understand their reason for bringing it in but I agree with you that one person noting every move on and off the field would be substantial and create less confusion.

Hey... don't men make the AFL rules?!
