Yep, no way should the countdown clock be put in stadiums. I mean I was slightly disappointed when the 5 minute warning went... It adds fanyastic drama and emotion. Terrible suggestion.

So you're happy to see judgmental errors from players for the sake of entertainment?
Dempsey would have taken a shot from 55- 60 meters out, coming off a knee reco, not gonna happen, that is why he was looking to play on, to either get extra distance on the kick or to kick to the top of the squareKnee-jerk reaction??? This isn't the first time the countdown clock has been brought up. It doesn't matter if it's tradition, Dempsey would have taken a shot if he knew there wasn't any time left, but because he didn't know, it altered the result.
and you're kidding yourself if you don't think games will still be loaded with suspense with a countdown clock.
It takes one quick glance. There are plenty of other sports that have a countdown clock, it doesn't hamper the game.
No thanks. If you had a countdown clock you would see teams start playing their chip chip game.
What's the number 1 saying when a player kicks out? Man up, If players knew how long was left they would do just that.
Sorry - I'm with the majority here - the 'unknown' time remaining creates great drama - and the AFL do it far better than soccer which tells the ref to keep time, as well as umpiring the game.
So you're happy to have games like this decided on luck? I know if the Bulldogs lost in this fashion, I'd be going absolutely berserk.
Also, Essendon fans seem to be really upset about this timer issue, but when the siren blew they had a lower score than Sydney, so that means they lose. Sorry.
Why should they bring it in, we have played for 100+ years without it so why change for the sake of changeThey should probably bring it in. "But the tension!!!" isn't much of a reason against it.

Isn't it completely ridiculous that home viewers know the clock, but the people who are playing the game do not?[/quote
I would be happy to see clock removed from TV screens also. There is nothing in sport that compares to a close AFL game in last couple of mins when we don't know how long there is-it is magic.
We can go further than that. Eliminate playing the game entirely and just work out what the result would be from the players beep tests and draft camp scores.We should bring in an round ball too. You can't have a game decided by a lucky bounce either
