Is half-time too long?

[footyfan1978]

20 minutes is ideal. Get a life and a cup of cement and harden the f up

If there was a time reduction expect the AFLPA to try to quash the cap because they'd want extra interchanges as compensation.

Is long grain rice too long?

Is long grain rice too long?

Yes. That is why I prefer medium grain.

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

Half time is fine, but the whole game is too long.

iv never understood why you would play an hr of footy and then go and sit in the change rooms on a hard concrete floor with your back against a hard concrete wall and then get up do a slight jog and a few stretches and go play for an hr again
id be doing everything i could to stop muscles tightening
and sighting on a concrete floor isnt going to help

Surely wouldn't be too much of an ask to supply seats for them.

Half time's even longer when the game is in delay.

 

[pazza]

I'd like to see the game run longer. get it back to 25 minutes plus time on. Short quarters have done nothing for the players or the quality of footy.

Etihad Stadium in particular, it's very hard to get to the toilet and back in 20 minutes. This may sound insane if you haven't been there for a 50,000 crowd game, but it takes 5 mins alone just to get to the concourse from the fence a lot of the time. Not saying we should change the length of the time, but 20 isn't exactly too much time. If you do two things at halftime (like toilet and food), you'd struggle with 20 mins in a packed stadium.

Especially women. Their toilet line is horrific in every stadium.

 

[Godchin]

It's fine.

The change of innings break in ODI's and the lunch break in tests on the other hand...

 

[bombersfan4000]

I think so.

15 minutes should be ample time. 20 just seems to drag on too long especially when you're at home watching onthe TV

Discuss

who cares if you or us the spectators think if its to long. AFL is one of the most physically demanding games on earth, the half time break could even popently be longer

 

[smasha]

AFL players run more than any other team sportsmen on the planet so the rest is needed.

 

[TBellicious]

Certainly not. 1 for the players and 2 for the spectators. 2 mainly due to the fact that you can enjoy the break, have a beer and pie and it is the perfect time so that you are pumped up for the second half. if it is too short then you are not as pumped, you see.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

I think it's adequate as a spectator.
