Draws - your opinion

[StonesThrow]

If they were to do away with the draw, I like the idea the game just continues after the siren, no break and next score wins.

Yeah this.

I don't care that there are draws though. Mix it up

 

[StonesThrow]

I like draws as a neutral. It's kind of funny and a talking point.

Is it really worth worrying about when it's happened once every 11 years in our history?

 

[cmndstab]

I like draws, although not so much us participating in them. Adds an interesting quirk to the ladder, adds a third possible outcome to each match. Obviously they don't work in finals but I'd keep them in the minor rounds.

Also, obligatory:

 

[crows dude]

I like the draw and would keep it

If I had to choose a tiebreaker, it'd be a goal kicking shootout where the opponent picks the goal kicker. So for example Brisbane would pick Jordon Butts to take the shot and we'd pick Jaxon Prior and so on

More likely they choose O'Brien.

Butts is a decent kick.

 

[El Doederino]

Next goal wins

Doesn't feel right for an off target shot or rushed behind to win the game

To all the draw fans, do me a favour.

Next time you’re watching a riveting movie, just turn it off with 10 minutes to go.

And if you don’t like the ending of a movie you can just hit a button and it keeps going until you get an ending you’re satisfied with.

 

[Jarman3]

Should settle it by roshambo.

The 2 captains meet in the centre circle and take turns kicking each other in the balls as hard as they can. First one to fall over loses.

 

[Moonwatcher]

It would be glorious if the poll finished in a draw

"Keep it as a draw" leading by 17 at half time. A draw still possible if "Keep it as a draw" is being coached by Neil Craig.

 

[Moonwatcher]

As a neutral I like the draw. When it happens to my team I enjoy it less. Don't think we would have won last night with extra time.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Draws are s**t.

Empty hollow feeling at the end of the game. Players, fans, commentators all dejected, flat, confused. No one knows what to say or do.

Obviously for it to end in a draw the last few minutes have been exciting and hectic. Then the siren goes with no winner. The ultimate anti climax.

What kind of psychopath thinks that’s ok?

This is sort of outlook is typical of your generation and its addiction to instant gratification.

Instant? I sat there for 3 hours.

Whenever I watch a draw I immediately wish I had whatever time I spent watching it back.

I agree, they’re so rare that it makes it kind of an interesting and fun quirk of the game.

Are people so emotionally immature that they just MUST feel good or bad RIGHT NOW!

These imbeciles can’t just be content with being neutral for a week!?

But it’s better than sitting through three hours and losing isn’t it?!

If that’s your mentality why even have behinds at all

I actually want a conclusion.

Like did I ever tell you about the time I met Brett James and what he had to say about Gary McIntosh?

 

[Jarman3]

To all the draw fans, do me a favour.

Next time you’re watching a riveting movie, just turn it off with 10 minutes to go.

Some movies also have inconclusive endings that leave it up to the viewer to speculate what might have happened.

Stupid ones

Next minute: 13.6.84 def 12.13.85 (entered extra time 12.6.78 apiece)

 

[MrBarry]

Extra time.

Never understood why we had two different rules, during the season and finals.

‘

Becauase finals require an outcome then and there?

Whereas regular season game are for points you get 4 points for a win and 2 points for a draw.

It's like people have forgotten the table is determined by premiership points and percentage not wins and losses.

Not this again

 

[NSolis]

Yeah, soccer has both draws and extra time/shootout games depending on whether a result is required. Nothing wrong with that.

If we did decide to get rid of draws in the AFL I think having the siren sound but the game continues until the next score or next goal would be ideal. Formal extra time is too much for a regular season game, but likely we'd only be talking about a few minutes at most in the case of a golden point.

 

[MrBarry]

Not this again

Not your nonsense again "we need.to be america and have overtime" crap

 

[Golumless]

If you're not good enough to win in 120 minutes, you don't deserve extra time in the regular season. Plus the moments where everyone is loitering and not knowing how to feel is hilarious.

I guess cricket isn’t much of a passion then. Not knocking that BTW, have barely watched a ball for years. Cricket nerds being the most pathetic of all the sporting nerds.
