Supporters all know. They have the same issue with any final in reality. Travellling to WA for a GF is no harder for the punters than traveling for a PF.

Yeh it is. Check the flight prices around then
Dissapointed as its the fairest way to decide a winner.
Extra time is a farce because teams don't plan or strategize for extra time, and after managing your team to give 100% by the end of the match, then you may as well flip a coin to save us all the time. It's just as legitimate a result.
And for those whining about not seeing a result; get over yourselves. The world doesn't revolve around you. If you go to the first grand final and its a draw, then you just experienced one of the most thrilling and dramatic events in world sport. If that isn't good enough for you then nothing ever will be.

.So in summary, we need to change this to pacify Australia's most disfranchised people, Western Australia football fans.

That would be the best solution if we are to keep replay, and satisfy the non-Victorians. Although #3 may not work considering that SA, NSW travel to Vic is shorter than QLD, WA and would disadvantage the WA teams the most.
I would suggest for #3 to be replaced with "non-Vic v non-Vic (different states) - Replay at the higher ranking ladder's team home state."
Would give the ladder ranking some purposes for top 4 for interstatesr.

I'm West Aussie and I want the replay to stay. Mind you, I've never travelled east for a grand final either.

Sad to see the death of a uniquely Australian tradition.

Not quite the same as the premiership decider. In fact, once the FA Cup reaches the decider, it abandons the replay.

Wahoooo
Should have been 10 min each way, and if scores are still level, a further 5 each way
No golden point
No golden point
Yeh don't like Golden point. Golden goal would have been better. Anyway, it's not a massive deal, as drawn grand finals are so rare, we might not even see another in our lifetime.
but the new rule will apply to all finals now
we get a drawn final on average once every 7 years
Fair enough then. Should be golden goal. Would hate to see a final decided by some scrappy ball that is fumbled over the line.
