Draws - your opinion

[kirky]

I still remember the draw at Football Park in Round 1 1979 - Central District 14.14 vs West Torrens 14.14.

At the end of the game, we all just looked bewildered.

It was the first draw I’d ever attended.

You remember them because they happen so rarely.

Was also at the G when we drew with Collingwood. Was there with a Collingwood mate and remember him saying during the third quarter when they were 50 points up that they were going to lose the game. I just laughed.

Remember July 1984 at Thebarton Oval - West Torrens vs Norwood, we kick the first two goals of the final quarter to go up 48 points, we ended up losing by a goal. Or April 1976, Prospect Oval North Adelaide vs West Torrens, we led by 55 points at half time, lost by 7 points. These games scarred me for probably 20 years that no matter the lead, you can still lose.

Certainly games stick in your memory, both good and bad.

Draws are s**t.

Empty hollow feeling at the end of the game. Players, fans, commentators all dejected, flat, confused. No one knows what to say or do.

Obviously for it to end in a draw the last few minutes have been exciting and hectic. Then the siren goes with no winner. The ultimate anti climax.

What kind of psychopath thinks that’s ok?

To all the draw fans, do me a favour.

Next time you’re watching a riveting movie, just turn it off with 10 minutes to go.

How very choose your own adventure

Don’t make me post those pictures of you in Kirky’s dungeon again. Those PETA protestors are still talking about the carnage from day 3

 

[Sanders]

And the premier league puts anything the Americans have to shame.

That’s just silly.

Yes shock horror, the Americans aren't the leading light in all things sport.

Yeah, they really are

I was at that Carlton vs Richmond GF in 1982 as a 21 yo.

I think you were 21 in 1882.

You’re bluffing.

You know it’s what makes the chicken finger lickin good.

Isn’t that one of your manoeuvres from day 2?

I think Kirky’s ball gag prevents either asking or telling

Well that, and the PTSD

The draw during the season is fine as is. Has ladder implications re percentage being relevant or not, which can make things interesting as the season progresses. It is good they’ve changed to extra time in finals.

During the season, next week's matchups aren't reliant on the week prior. Finals are vastly different, hence the different approaches being perfectly reasonable.

I’m purely talking about fans, players. Nothing about ladder position.

WTF is going on - dungeons, ball gags, leather and whips?

Wish my life was that exciting.

There is only one ending I ever want.

That’s just silly.




Yeah, they really are

I know plenty of Yanks who are obsessed with the PL and wish they had a product like that. I literally don't know one Brit who gives a shit about NBA/NFL etc.

Yeah, just like that

When the investigators from WorkSafe SA arrive, deliver the lines just like that.

Well that changes everything.

My point is some Australians seem to have a developer this blind mentality that US = Good and everything else bad.

Made up friends who in their great number just happen to agree with you is not an argument. Even allowing for the ridiculousness of your actual position

If only the USA was as great at everything as they claim...

Most Americans never travel outside their own country & lack an understanding of other cultures.... but they sure as hell like to poke their noses into everyone's business.

Can't wait for the MTV Cribs kirky special
