Is it really that hard to have another 5 mins? The deadlock will be broken eventually.

Golden point/goal is so tough because wind can play a factor.
More so than in any other team sport I think
Captains have a penalty shootout from 25m out directly in front. First one to miss loses.
Agree golden goal rule ....play the extra ten minutes ...5 each way
Then next goal wins ...the wind isn’t a factor at mcg so which way teams go isn’t factor ...but maybe after the extra ten minutes you toss the coin To decide which end you kick too
But in theory ....hmmm a team could kick could kick 7 points ...then other team kicks one goal they win ....is everyone comfortable with the team losing yet kicking a higher score ...unlikely but could happen
Golden 6... first to score 6 or more pts wins
Yeah nah ....um I just think first goal ....
After the ten minutes extra time ...toss the coin again and puck ends ....next goal
I doubt you’d see a team kick 6 points before a goal is scored
So are behinds just not registered in 'golden' time?
Yup ......bring a chainsaw out chop the goal posts ...lolz
You can see I’m happy
Lol
Yes just reset scoreboard too ....take down the score ..
Doesn’t need to have a replay, keep going 5 mins each end until there’s a winner.They would have had an extra 10 minutes before golden point mattered
The goal by Sheed was clutch but I'd rather keep going for the result than come back next week
If someone rushes a point with 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter to decide a game that's a win. Why does that rule have to change if it's after the fourth quarter?
Should be "Golden 6".
The first to 6 (or more points) wins.
This would heavily favor a "golden goal" over a "golden point" (last of 6 behinds) to win the game, even though the latter is possible too.
Could do it for the home and away season to eliminate draws (no extra time, just straight to "Golden 6"). Scores during "Golden 6" don't count towards a side's percentage, only to determine who gets the win.
The Pies v Saints replay was a fizzer, not to mention the fans that missed out on seeing the result live because they couldn't afford or get tickets next week.
Imagine if it was a draw and West Coast fans had to fly over and pay for accommodation again. **** that, finish it on the day.

If there is a breeze then too bad, if you couldn't win it during the first four quarters and extra time that's your bad luckWhat if there is a 6 goal breeze? Who gets to kick with the breeze during the period that they're playing for the golden point? Two 5 minute halves is the fairest way to break the deadlock. And if the score is still tied, you go again, maybe make it 2 x 2 minute halves.

It wouldnt be fair on the travelling side. Especially if the interstate side finished higherYeah i didn't really explain my view.
For me, the difference between extra time and a replay is marginal .. i would be happy with either.
I favor the replay because i think 4 quarters is 4 quarters... that is the game... that is your chance to win. If you can't win, replay it.
Extra time is also good... as long as it is at least 10 minutes and the scoreboard decides the result. No golden goal or point.
Re the replay... i think one benefit is the fans end up filling the stands the next week. Not the corporates. The negative is the injury toll... Hawks wouldn't have won a 1989 replay... but we also would not have won 5 minutes of extra time either.
I see why people don't like the replay... but i am stuck thinking that when the siren sounds it is a draw = a draw.
Anything but a golden point.
Life isn't fair, it's a competitive sport, luck is part of lifeSo you think it is ok that a team is eliminated simply due to bad luck? Right, got it. There was also another team that could not win after the first 4 qtrs and extra time, and yet they get the 6 goal breeze all to itself during the period of the golden point. Hardly seems fair.
