Two-time premiership North Melbourne defender David King believes it is time to once again look at the interchange situation.

Rotations are currently capped at 90 per game, a change that was made back in 2015 with the removal of the substitute rule.

Friday night’s State of Origin game featured no limit on the amount of rotations and King believes it showed what the game can look like when fatigue is greatly reduced.

“Sneaky, did anyone talk about the rotations post game?” King said on SEN’s Whateley.

“What does it matter (if there’s a lot of rotations)? Because it wasn’t such an orchestrated discussion, and almost a campaign by some, no one talked about it.

“We had players that had the confidence and the skill level that they had wanting to put on a show, but they’re coming back onto the ground fresh so they can hit those kicks.

“They weren’t fatigued. I think this rotation discussion has lost its way. We want our best players fresh.”

King believes the AFL should strongly consider removing the cap altogether.

“I don’t subscribe to the capping of it at all. I don’t think that bringing fatigue into our game is a great thing for the skills of our game,” he said.

“Ultimately I think the skills take away congestion. If you can hit targets and keep the game flowing, you don’t have congestion. Forget rotations, it’s not the problem that people think.”

SEN Chief Broadcaster Gerard Whateley is in agreement, saying the cap has had no positive impact on the quality of the game.

“What was the purpose of the interchange cap? Because it has not improved the game,” Whateley said.

To which King responded: “It was one of 300 rules we changed that brought us to an absolute standstill”.
