CibbuanoAFL set to introduce interchange cameras
May 14th 2008 23:47
THE AFL is considering the introduction of a fixed camera to track every interchange move.
AFL football operations manager Adrian Anderson yesterday confirmed a camera similar to the version trialled by Channel 10 in the Hall of Fame Tribute match was a possibility in the future.
The camera would allow every bench change to be time-coded and recorded. The camera would not only pick up breaches, but also provide clear-cut evidence in any 19th-man investigation.
"The question of having footage of the interchange bench is something we'll be looking into further," Anderson said.
League ground operations manager Jill Lindsay has been given the task of investigating the option, which would provide another deterrent to clubs breaching interchange rules.
Any move to cameras is unlikely to come before the end of the season.
