There is nothing more vomit inducing than watching players feign confusion and disappointment when there is a drawn game. It's almost like all players were instructed to behave that way when there is a draw to avoid ridicule. But I think there are some circumstances where it's perfectly fine to celebrate a draw. The Suns tonight should've been given a free pass to celebrate after snatching a draw from the jaws of defeat.
What's wrong with celebrating a draw?

The only appropriate time to celebrate a draw is when you tie with St Kilda in the NAB cup.

I've only ever seen 1 draw live. It was when we gave up 30 odd points to Freo a few years ago at the SCG. It was the weirdest end to a game I've ever seen - Everyone just started filing out of the ground in silence.
If I was a Freo fan and had watched my team come back like that I'd be over the moon.

Draws are good to have when you have a crappy %. Not so much when you have a good % already like West Coast.
We would have won if we'd punched the ball through for a behind, weren't happy at all.
Different story today though

Don't know why West Coast didn't celebrate.
Now they are 1.5 wins clear of Hawthorn and are closing in on a home QF along with their derby partner.

Depends on context. Going up 2 games ahead of Hawthorn was massive. 1 1/2 is good, but we have a tough finish.

You're so close to winning and you don't so it's deflating.
Even if the Eagles fall to 4th, it won't be that bad. We'll still get to play at Subi. so I'm fine with 2nd or 4th. Just not too keen on 3rd.

Because the goal on the day is to win. Why celebrate failure?

Because a win would've put them on top of the ladder. They're basically as far away from Freo as they would be if they had of lost, because they have a better % than Freo.
I jumped up and down as if we won when we drew with Carlton last year to ensure we had a home final against North.

Gee if they did that West Coast would have been really unhappy with that. Considering where they are on the ladder I'd imagine that'd be the last thing they would want. Surely they'd take the loss rather than exhaust their players

Context is key for a draw - Gold Coast would be happy with any points they can get and probably deserved the win.
In many ways the eagles should be more grateful for the draw
