Grand Final replays scrapped

The odds of any grand final getting to the Golden point situation, are greater than the odds of Liam Jones winning this year's Coleman medal.

Football Comedy Lesson 1: Any Liam Jones post is funny.

Lets test that theory.

Liam Jones.

Gold.

He finds it funny too…

my strategy would be to put Myers and Hartley at half forward, both can hoof it 60 meters and accuracy isn’t that critical if all i need is a point

Actually, Daniher is always good for a point, kick it to him.

When the draw does happen, on the siren out strolls Vince McMahon. “There’s going to be a replay - and this replay starts… RIGHT. NOW.”

Jeff Probst.

Multiball! Multiball!! MULTIBALL!!!

I've got a better idea. 5 minutes each way if scores are tied at the end of the GF. If scores are still level and the end of the 2nd 5 minute installment, the controlling maggot blows his/her whistle to stop play, alerts both captains that that are now in the 'golden point' stage of the game and that the next score wins, give both sides 60 seconds to compose themselves, bounce it and let them go for it.

THIS.

…but why would you do golden pt rather than goal?

And I’m assuming it’s a centre bounce?

Asking an interstate side to return 7 days later is a good reason not to have a replay. No, very good reason.

If full time profressional athletes, coaches, and other support staff can’t factor in a couple of flights in a 7 day period towards their preparation for one of, if not the, biggest match of their careers they might not be in the right job.


Nup. Disagree.

What if, say, it were WestCoke, and because they would have had to travel all the way to WestCoke and then back again the next week, what if, the team that they drew against, was similarly and summarily placed in an aircraft ‘simulation’, if you will, so that they served the same identical effects as WestCoke, rendering the playing field level? Eh? Fark I’m a genius.

Or west coast just stays in Melbourne?

Well, you’re a barrel of fun, aren’t you laughing boy?

Plus if it findings late enough it’ll be dark and we can have the fireworks that these clowns have been asking for.

Yes. Centre bounce.

As for the goal V point, if they have managed to play a full game + 2x 5 minute halves and are still tied, then any score will do.

I cannot fathom how anyone would come to that conclusion. Imagine if we got gifted a free against at the centre bounce, chip kick to 75m, handball and torp from there to a spoil through for a point. Pies premiers.

I dislike the idea of golden point or golden goal. In the rare occurrence of a drawn GF just play extra time and extra extra time etc until resolved. If all this extra time is deemed a problem for broadcasters then just start the game earlier.

Pretty rough not letting us watch old grand finals again. I had '93 all set to go in the DVD player.

Boom tish

Three.

Red footys only get a point. The Yellow one is for a goal.

Hawthorn still gets to simply let go of all three balls when tackled

But just imagine if we had all the advantages, strong wind, in our forward pocket playing against Fark Carlton/Hawks/ anyone else we hate, and we have come from 8th or something and we beat them by a golden point, all those people falling from the upper levels :slight_smile:

Two things. 1) Unless someone gets decapitated I doubt there is an umpire alive who would award a free kick during the 'golden point' stage of a GF and 2) Collingwood would have been defeated during regular play rendering extra time and golden point moot.

wrong thread

I wouldn't be falling, I'd be flying.

Especially after raiding Hawthorn’s drug stash.

This kinda feels like PR 101… Make a contentious announcement…Tie it up in a ridiculous scenario that you’re never really going to implement …folks spend weeks bemoaning said scenario … Then, because you’re such an caring, listening, inclusive organisation you remove said scenario with much fanfare and everyone’s happy.
