I just don't know that it will work for an AFL season just because it works for a limited series State of Origin in rugby.

There's a lot of practicality issues with it.

Getting to one grand final is hard enough. Wouldn't be easy to find people who can get to all three. So most people would pick and choose which grand final they go to. Who wouldn't pick the third and potentially deciding one?

There's the logistical side of it, in that it would essentially be adding three extra games to two teams' seasons, a pretty substantial disadvantage in regards to the following year's preparation.

And then there's just the enjoyment factor. What if the teams are just really badly matched and all three games end up as bad as the first and only GF? What if it's all wrapped up and decided after the first two and the third is just one big, expensive dead rubber?

Yer i know the cons to it just 2022 was devastating to end it like that idk i dont have a solution just think something needs to happen to equal out the disadvantage.

Just watching 2 equally balanced sides tonight and the spectacle is amazing

See thats why its best to have a best of 3 GF's it generally evens out your team getting blown away and unable to get back in the game.

Origin 2 QLD was Sydney of 2022.

The reason for best of X games is desirable, isn't because of the sporting spectacle, it's because of the $$$.

You get to broadcast/sell tickets/merch etc for more than 1.

The NFL would also absolutely love to do a best of X as well, but the players association won't allow it because it's very demanding.

Grand final is fine, just turn up and win

The impacts are 1,000,000,000% more violent than what happens on an AFL field. (even the punches).

In a different way. Explosive and collision.

2022 was devastating but imagine if we had to re-live it all over again the following week. Or we got a glimmer of hope by winning the second one and then got belted again in the third because Geelong were just better than us.

No doubt something needs to change to create more equality in grand finals. There is no secret what the solution is, but the AFL won't do it, and in fact double-downed on it when they signed their last MCG contract.

**** them.

But we beat the same Geelong side a few months earlier by 6 goals do you think we would of gotten belted again by 80 odd if there was a second game?

I don't think the Geelong team we beat at the start of 2022 was the same Geelong team we faced in the GF. They didn't win consecutive games until round 11 of that year. We beat them in round 2 and they weren't in the top 4 on the ladder until round 12 of that year.

They had a slow start and then morphed into the clear best side of the year, so yeah maybe we'd handle the occasion better a second time around, but I think there was a big class difference that meant there would've been a fair chance the outcomes were no different.

Imagine 05 , Eagles bounce back and win the next 2

 

[swanssince2002]

Would be epic but our hearts would have been racing after 4 games decided by less than a goal in a matter of weeks lol

Yeah who wants to see it stretch out to three weeks?

Yep when we piss it in this year stuff playing best of 3, that's for losers.

Just bring your best in the initial game. Dont need a best of 3.

With the worst song in living history being popular

Joe Daniher with his stupid chewing on bubblegum and pretty boy hair never out of place

Let’s not get me started on the city itself. Sweet your arse off just sitting

Why is it that footballers have such shit tastes in music for?

Discuss!!!

I thought this board needed this thread

 

[sataris]

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I need to be employed by the AFL. Only I can fix the music tastes of footballers. Give me 5 mins alone with each of them as Pantera would say

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Could it hurt for a teammate to scruff Joe Daniher’s hair at least once?

 

[StillGotIt]

sorry Joe's move to sydney fell apart a few years back. show me where he hurt you

NHL Stanley Cup final is best of seven.

 

[BigVic]

NHL Stanley Cup final is best of seven.

So too are the MLB World Series and NBA Finals

Missing out on Joe was a real sliding doors moment.

Would have costed us Papley and Logan. We definitely got out better from not getting that trade through

The thing with these sports is that they are far less strenuous, and the games are far far shorter. so you can play many more games in a season.

NBA: 48mins/game, with 82 games/season
NHL: 60mins/game , with 82 games/season
MLB: 1,000,000 hours/game but like cricket most of it is nothing happening, with 162 games/season

NHL, MLB and NBA often play games on consecutive days.

A seven game series is not so bad if the sport allows it physically.

They can have frustration he caused
