It's an interesting concept ... I have never really looked at the interchange bench like that but Matthews is right that if a team loses 2 players to injury it effectively becomes 22 on 20 which is a huge advantage to the other team. Not sure it will go anywhere but it's a good debate because it's arguable that the 4 man interchange bench has had a greater impact on the evolution of the game than any other rule change over the last 10 years.

18 v 16 is a huge disadvantage.
Either Lethal's been on the slops, or he's being paid good money to make ridiculous comments.

The interchange is a farce
Sydney 80 interchanges v West Coast [almost cheating]
The whole idea of extra interchange players was so teams would
in theory have 18 fit blokes on the field to cover injuries in the run.
That conceot is acceptable
Having between 30-80 interchanges is not right
I reckon limit all Interchanges per club to 10 a game
Then the taggers the flooders and the scrubbers will suffer
and the sides with the best players + most skillfull players will prosper.
We might also have more skilled footballers and less athletes playing AFL footy.
As for MATTHEWS he is a premiership player + premiership coach and should be
respected for his opinions on this matter.
