Your a glorified Posty, deliver your message and piss off ffs
Could you imagine in cricket the 12th man coming out to deliver the fresh batting gloves and gobbing off at the bowlers
If you want to run around mouthing off at people then you should get treated like a player and watch someone blindside you with the sweetest hip and shoulder.

1, you've got to be kidding me. 2, if you're bringing out fresh batting gloves you can expect to hear from me.

Don't be so daft. Runners are required.

The players are swapping from the bench that often it would be quicker to tell the next rotation on to pass on the message

Pretty sure runners don't go out to tell players to come to the bench, structural changes, checking in on an opposition player who is hot, the coach wanting the +1 in defence, positional changes etc are all very much part of the game.
The AFL have clamped down on the time they can spend out there, that's enough.

Huh? A bloke changing in defence sends a message to a bloke in the midfield to pass a message to a bloke in the forward line to drop behind the ball?
Come on....you're messing with us.
