When the 16 interchanges per quarter NAB Cup rule was brought in, I thought the idea was to slow the game down and prevent serious injuries.

So far this season, there have been some 5 serious knee injuries. If you take out the two that occured in Albany in the Eagles Pies game (ground condition?) which was a praccy match and not suubject to this rule, the others have occured in the NAB Cup.

I seem to recall when Darren Gaspar did his knee that there was some suggestion that it was fatigue related. Not that being tired caused it, but that it may have been a factor.

It will be interesting to see what pans out in the regular season.
