Golden Goal/Point, and the umpire bounces it in the middle (and not up straight) and heavily favours one team but not quite out of the circle, the ball is kicked forward (at Docklands) from inside the centre square and is punched through for a point or kicked through from the goal square. The defending team doesn't get an even chance.
No thanks, the ball is oval, the umpires are inept, for me it's either a draw or extra time with 5 minutes each way.

Golden goal makes the most sense to me. Just keep the last quarter rolling until the next goal.

Teams already know roughly how long is left at the end of the game and the bench will hold up signs to let the players on field know what's going on.

The very core of the game is to score goals and prevent your opponent from doing the same. You do that until the final siren goes. So golden goal fits best I think.

If it were as simple as that, Pies would have been able to do it from the moment they had possession in the back half with a minute and a half to go yesterday.

Anyway, golden goal also works. As I said, preference is for the draw, but the 5 mins each way is zzzz.

If they introduced golden point or goal and you were playing in Hobart, you’d wanna pray like hell you were kicking with the wind in the last quarter

Golden Review, we wait while they go over all the goals again and correct the score

You 100% know that every golden goal winner will get reviewed and ruin the moment. Every one

Re-toss and pick which way you go

If it's a draw at the end of the match, leave it a draw ffs

On a positive note at least Hobart is not as wet as Melbourne.

Instead of bouncing it the umpire should kick as far as possible from the centre circle towards centre wing (he can pick whichever one).
The mark doesn't count.

Also in goalden goal times all players get umpired the same as Ginnivan

 

[hfc70]

Ginnivan must laugh his head off (pun intended) with all these head high free kicks …….

 

[I got the outside word]

Two frees already that would be play on for Ginni.

77% humidity playing havoc with Port's kicking for goal Strapping Young Lad.

I lolled hard when Sam mentioned the GC slipperiness in the North post-game presser.

 

[peetoo]

The worst part of penalty shoot outs in soccer is you can see some teams think that is their only chance = poor game quality\

Let’s not

2 weeks for Higgins sling tackle,would be a good result for us

Would be surprised if he gets less.

[The hands of stone]

2 absolute minimum , likely 3 .

 

[Paul Kersey]

No doubt an ugly sling tackle but be interested to know if any umpire blew a whistle for incorrect disposal first.

 

[Cleavy]

has this game reached any heights at all? or just a continuous flatline?

So a typical Ross Lyon game?

Fact

He is a blight on the game

 

[Cleavy]

So a typical Ross Lyon game?

then he can answer to their CEO/supporters etc if they lose the game and are 2 games outside the 8, and the finals aspirations getting further away.

Rozee now might miss our game too with a hammy.

No idea why they sent him back out there. He was only going to make it worse. Same with Hopper on Thursday.

Been some strange decisions by the doctors lately.

 

[H00t]

Jase Burgoyne looks a likely type. Been good all game but did some really nice things in that last quarter.
