Should the AFL Abolish the Coin Toss before the Centre Bounce ?

[MeestaNob]

They should bounce the coin.

Imagine Kingy in the war room breaking down the stats

"We know Selwood goes rock 78% of the time, and yet Boak goes scissors to start, just an unforgivable error"

ANZAC Day match should be decided by two-up.

Decide which end the teams are going to after the first goal.

 

[Mr Eagle]

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100...

There's no coin toss in Basketball because they throw it up and have a contest to start the game. So why do we need it in footy? Such a waste of time.

 

[GeelongFTW]

if this was test cricket id be more open-minded considering the massive advantage it could give.

 

[Farang83150]

what a *ing stupid OP.

Lets just save time and get rid of everything different from the US sports.

Don't watch much of the National Football League? Coin is tossed to start the game (and OT eh Jerome).

Which way does the wind blow on an indoor basketball court? How long is the sun in their eyes for?

There's no goals in basketball because they throw a round ball through a hoop to score, so why do we need kicking, oval balls, goals and goalposts in footy? Such a waste of time.

Easy fix; have a set end for home team and one for the away team. Eliminates the need to stuff around with a coin toss.

I quite like having a toss before a game. Keeps me focused

 

[SterlingArcher]

I just hate that marginalised members of the community take the opportunity of the sacred coin toss to get a photo opportunity with their heroes and what not.

The coin toss is a massive deciding factor in a game and we open it up to anyone to just throw it up? Makes me throw up.

 

[Fluro Boots]

should be like two up with all the non captains able to place side bets around the circle.

 

[GreaterWeStener]

Have a Centre Bounce off instead. The team who performs the best Centre Bounce selects ends, one attempt per team.

No. There's no coin toss in basketball because the visiting team chooses which end they will score towards in the first half.

Missing my point. Coin toss is not necessary. There's a bounce to decide who gets it first.

You realise the coin toss in footy is to decide which end the teams play first quarter?

 

[sataris]

Spin the bottle.

Which is something that could be decided well before the game. Unnecessary to waste time on it pre-game.
