From 4 interchanges/And from the fact that the link you provided me with, shows that the average time that the average player spends on ground would struggle to be anymore than 75% .
dear oh dear. How many times would you like to be proven wrong pussycat?
4 players on the bench at any one time means over 120 minutes there are 480 'interchange minutes'. If each of the 22 players had 30 minutes on the interchange this would add up to 660 minutes (22 x 30mins). If you evenly divided the 480 interchange minutes by 22 players you get 21 minutes per players, or 16% off time, so 84% on field time.
However, the interchange is also used for role players such as the second ruckman, developing players who have been recently drafted, or players returning from injury. These players spend far longer on the interchange, which is why many AFL players spend a greater proportion of time on the ground than 84%
