How good was that? Remove the draw in H&A

[Demonic Ascent]

Speccie shootouts? What about that handball thing they had on the Sunday footy show?

Fif-tie fiv-ie

The NFL have it right, it's why it's the most intense game in the world.

NFL combines America's two favourite past times; violence and management meetings.

Individual plays are awesome, but it's hardly intense when you have to stop to switch over one of your three teams between plays.

 

[AcuteWhistle]

It's knockout. There has to be a winner.

Why, we are happy with draws in season. Just share the flag.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Wouldn't have happened without extra time

Of course, but for a final it makes much more sense.

 

[PerthBoy86]

Draws are still so uncommon I don't care too much either way. I assume they introduced ET as a rule after the 2010 GF? I'm surprised it took that long...

i miss tradition

Replay next week letting everyone have the bye whilst ensuring the mcg gets their weekly game!

Do away with keeping score as well. Every game can be guaranteed to be a draw. Everyone gets a flag at the end.

Thinking logistically, so the whole next phase is pushed back? Or would Cats/Swans still play while Port/WC play again?

 

[FootyJunkie]

Extra time in HA skews percentage as sides would have more time to work on it, so percentages can't be compared accurately and fairly

 

[nerRADIAN]

You get it about once a decade. People assume you'd get that level of excitement in every game with extra time, but you really wouldn't if it became more common.

Once a decade is nothing. A draw happens maybe 1-3 times per year in a regular season, no one is getting used to it.

Cats/Swans would still play, in case they ended in a draw they would have another week to play the replay.... blah

The idea of a replay has had it's day.... it's unworkable in a national/professional league... it screwed Essendon in 1990

 

[Lensen]

Why does a draw need to be a thing if more excitement can be generated from a cut-throat game of footy?

first 3 quarters were pretty boring probably. why not just play a single quarter with extra time if needed

Correct that's why it was scrapped 27 years ago after Essendon got screwed by it in 1990, as the final 5 was still in place and Essendon already had an extra week off and had rested a fair few guys in r22.

When it was still the vfl kinda workable but even if it remained just that it probably would of eventually been scrapped

Why does a draw need to be a thing if more excitement can be generated from a cut-throat game of footy?

a game of footy played out to a draw has already been tense and exciting and cut-throat to get to that point. a drawn h&a game doesn't need saving from boredom or lack of tension. the excitement at extra time comes from higher stakes at this time of year, not extra time itself.

ET has been around since 91 after Sumich "drew the bloody game" (Malthouse quote) in 90

After the 2010 GF, Demetriou was keen to keep the GF replay for the $$$ even though the build up and game was crap.... Gil killed it off last year, but introduced the seamless sudden death ET if scores are level after ET 2, which is amateurish

NFL is boring as bat shit

NFL is boring as bat shit

Starts tomorrow maaaaaate

 

[Dirty Bird]

Starts tomorrow maaaaaate

Miss yesterday's game did ya?

 

[SwampRat]

"No, there's 4 points attached to the game".
Why is a win worth 4 and a draw worth 2?
Why not make it 2 for a win and 1 for a draw?
Or take it a step further and make it one point for a win and no such thing as a draw?

"No, there's 4 points attached to the game".
Why is a win worth 4 and a draw worth 2?
Why not make it 2 for a win and 1 for a draw?
Or

SANFL does 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw. Percentage is out of 100, too.

It's okay, I didn't like American Football when I was young and naive either.

 

[Starburns_]

Do you even watch the NFL? They still have draws.

Stick with tradition, **** making things more exciting because of tradition.

Except 'exciting' isn't an automatic. The last extra-time final was a pretty shit finish.

 

[Rack Watts]

"lol".

Nothing more intense then 3 QB kneels to finish off the last two minutes of a game to the point where they film the sidelines instead of the 'action' like in the season opener.

I love me some NFL but to have it just because the NFL does is a stupid argument. Maybe Aussie rules needs more domestic abuse as well?
