Let me start off with a basket of chips. Then move on to the pollo asado taco.
I know AFL video games are bad, but loving hell this AFL23 is incredible with how bad it is. Watching a friend stream it and on the hardest difficulty the opposition are running away from the ball carrier. He's standing with the ball in the goal square, a defender is standing about 5 meters away from him looking at the crowd doing nothing. Its so, so bad.

edit: He literally played with his back turned to the screen and still scored a goal from a centre bounce. On the hardest difficulty.

John Longmire just turned into the umpire mid quarter time address and then the bench appeared in the centre square

It is literally the same game from the previous 3 iterations, just handballed to different studios each time to make it look like someone actually gives a gently caress with a modest graphics redo.

It’s actually significantly worse imo

If my kids were a bit older and I had been buying it for them instead of myself I’d be incredibly pissed off.

Has it ever got to the point where someone has had to play injured because there was literally no one else?

If the tribunal upholds that as a suspension, you’re telling everyone that you must not take your eyes off the ball at all when going back with the flight which is a loving insanely dangerous standard to set.

I'm pretty sure in that case the AFL would approve you bringing in an extra injury-replacement player. It has happened at AFLW level (it's how Rachelle Martin first got a game for the Crows), not sure about AFL level.

I can remember the Crows having to name an injured player on the emergency list once due to having only 24 fit players on the list. Mind you, the Crows also used an injured player as their injury sub once which was it's own little debacle.

Yeah, I think at that time the injury sub could "only" be used if there was an actual injury (although clubs seemed perfectly willing and able to fudge the details there) so it was very common for a sub to get no game-time at all. I think we had four weeks in a row where the sub wasn't used, and so we decided to give our fit players actual games in the SANFL rather than keeping the bench warm during an away match. Of course it immediately backfired.

In Essendon's case it was because they did something stupid like only taking one emergency to Perth and then someone got injured in the warmup or something. I think Goddard played out the game on one leg in the end.
