I agree. The rule was brought in to protect players, but I've never seen a player put his hand up and say to an umpire. "I'd better go off, I'm bleeding and I'm a danger to other players." They try to hide it and stay on as long as they can, so they clearly don't think it's dangerous or don't care if it is. At AFL level the Players' Association should either instruct the players to voluntarily go off when they're bleeding so as not to endanger their fellow AFL players, or the rule should be scrapped.
