Terrible suggestionYou can't take a mark on the wing and spend thirty protected seconds for someone to free themselves, why should you get a pass for that in the forward line?

Terrible suggestion
Wasn't aware I made a suggestion?
I would get rid of time on for the quarter. Clock counts down from 20 mins without interruption except for a goal being scored or injury timeout like a stretcher. But the last 2 or 3 mins clock automatically stops as per your suggestion.Last 3 minutes of the game should be stop the clock when a mark is taken, and the player chooses not to play on. Then restart the clock after the kick for goal, or after the umpire calls play on.
Seems harsh. Player might initially want to take a deliberate shot on goal. but if then a team mate finds space because of poor defending, you can't pass it off? Seems a bit silly.
So if a player is around 50m out from goal, any defender can just leave his man to go to the goal line, leaving attackers 30m out, directly in front unable to be passed to?The reason a forward gets 30 seconds to line up is because they are trying to kick a goal
Don't really get how you are allowed to take 30 seconds if you aren't actually kicking for goal - seems like unnecessarily running down the clock
No one else gets 30 seconds so they can carefully pass the ball to a teammate
Simple solution - player has to indicate they are going for goal if they want the extra time to prepare
If they don't go for goal then it's a free kick
Nah, if you take a mark within goal distance in the dying stages the opposition should wear the clock consequencesJust stop the clock and it starts once player has kicked the ball.

As has been mentioned, time on is the solution. Take your 30sec if you want, match clock starts upon the approach.
