THERE is Arachnophobia, Batophobia and now, it seems, Rotationphobia.

Forget spiders and heights, when it comes to AFL coaches boxes in 2014, the main fear appears to be going over the new 120 interchange cap.

Last season, the average number of rotations soared to an average 133.7, including those made at quarter breaks and for injured players.

THE BAROMETER: Round 1 midway report

But in our first look at life under the cap last weekend, the musical chairs stopped dramatically. The eight teams that opened the 2014 season combined for an average 97.9 rotations per game.

Only two sides - Fremantle (118) and Collingwood (117) got close to the 120 limit. Round 1 shock-jocks GWS racked up 107.

Gold Coast's paltry 75 was caused by injuries, but Carlton and Richmond appeared to sabotage their own chances of winning by not rotating enough off the bench.

You would have thought the Blues, who tired badly late against the Power, would have pushed the envelope to keep their heads above water. But Mick Malthouse's men had just 84 rotations - 36 less than they are allowed.

And what of Richmond? With the Suns down to two on the bench for the entire second half you'd think the Tigers would have maximised their advantage, but they only pulled the trigger 94 times.
