Dow was subbed last week wasn't he?
Isn't he forced to miss because of the sub rule?
Nope. That rule doesn’t exist. I’m annoyed about Dow but I’m more annoyed about SPS. He had 14 touches in just over a half and was one of our most creative players. Far more dangerous than Cottrell, Newnes, or Gibbons

Have they changed the rule since it was implemented?
. A Medical Substitute can be activated immediately after it is determined a Player is medically unfit to continue to participate in the match and, due to the nature of the injury
sustained, it is reasonably determined the player will be medically unfit to participate in any match for at least the next 12 days. a. Only the Club Medical Officer can determine a Player is medically unfit.
b. A Medical Substitute can be activated at any stage during the match.
c. A Medical Substitute can occur even after the Interchange Cap of 75 has been met as per current AFL Regulations when an injured player has exited the Playing Surface.
d. On or before the first working day after the match, the Club Medical Officer must provide a Medical Certificate to the AFL certifying that the Player replaced by the Medical Substitute Player sustained the injury.
4. The Medical Substitute Player will be permitted to participate in another match in another competition (e.g. a State League competition) in the equivalent round regardless of whether they are activated during the AFL match.
