Draws - your opinion

[Samcro24]

I guess cricket isn’t much of a passion then. Not knocking that BTW, have barely watched a ball for years. Cricket nerds bring the most pathetic of all the sporting nerds.

No I enjoy cricket.

Not as much as I used to though

 

[Samcro24]

Not your nonsense again "we need.to be america and have overtime" crap

Nothing to do with America.

Your notion that the ladder somehow falls apart if points aren’t tied to wins is puzzling though.

I agree, they’re so rare that it makes it kind of an interesting and fun quirk of the game.

Are people so emotionally immature that they just MUST feel good or bad RIGHT NOW!

These imbeciles can’t just be content with being neutral for a week!?

Gen X wins again.

Some movies also have inconclusive endings that leave it up to the viewer to speculate what might have happened.

Not just movies.

No we can’t.

America leave us for dead when it comes to the way they do sports.

And now you’ve got me backing up Samcro, which is quite frankly another reason I don’t like you.

Is there a prize?

Yeh, you get to flush that toilet.

Btw, I've always wondered --- is that dog drinking, or eating ?

I’ve never really understood that. Sport is about the battle between contestants and having an emotional investment in one of the sides winning. Or enjoying the game itself enough to enjoy neutral matches. I’m not sure what anyone could add to a game that increases how enthralled I was yesterday. BT for Underwood would have definitely improved my experience, but not sure that’s what’s being referred to.

Empty hollow feeling at the end of the game. Players, fans, commentators all dejected, flat, confused. No one knows what to say or do.
Obviously for it to end in a draw the last few minutes have been exciting and hectic. Then the siren goes with no winner. The ultimate anti climax.

This!
It's clear from their post-draw behaviour that the players want the result to be a win for their side. The overwhelming body language is "A draw, after all that! ".

I noted that Fagan was happy with the draw in his presser. He remarked that Brisbane had used up all their tickets.
With 5 minutes of extra time each way, the Crows probably run away with it, who knows?
But this is an odd question:

What kind of psychopath thinks that’s ok?

It suggests the posters who think the draw should be left as is are psychopaths.
Er, what?

 

[CrowBloke]

Should they be called draws or ties?

There's absolutely no difference. Drawn game. Tied game. Same-same.

 

[1970crow]

Draws are s**t.

Empty and hollow better than how this poor guy felt when his beloved dolphins screwed up.

And the premier league puts anything the Americans have to shame.

Yes shock horror, the Americans aren't the leading light in all things sport. Would you like us to have teams that can change cities once every few years if they want that have no link to tradition?

Have you been to a NFL, NHL, MBL or NBA game?

 

[CrowBloke]

Extra time.
Never understood why we had two different rules, during the season and finals.
‘Overtime’ is a great feature in other sports, creates tension and elevates games.
Also in a sport with no time outs, will allow greater tactics and strategy.

One potential glitch with extra time.
Suppose teamA has not used their sub, but the other has.
Can teamA then use that sub and benefit from fresh legs in extra time?

 

[adelaidecrows]

I don't see a problem with draws. The only exception should be finals where a clear winner needs to be decided, including a grand final.

There is enough scoring opportunities in games of football that if you can't win, you don't deserve to. Plus draws are so few and far between, a draw really adds for an exciting element of the game.

If we remove draws from games we will see sides with 3-4 minutes to go in the match with tied scores start chipping around to take time off the clock so their star players can rest on the bench for an all out assault in extra time. It would instantly make these matches boring more than it would make them exciting. At least with a draw both sides are trying desperately to win the game right up until the siren.

Er, what?

Yeah that's right.

Its sport you yankee danky doodle shite

 

[Geoffa32]

And take off one player per team each 30 seconds. Until only 1 remains on each team. Then they have to run backwards and kick with non-preferred foot.

Nah multi ball.


Have two different coloured balls. One for each team. You have to score with the other team's ball.

Yeah that's right.

So, someone with a:
" mental disorder especially when marked by egocentric and antisocial activity, a lack of remorse for one's actions, an absence of empathy for others, and criminal tendencies"
and not just someone who has a harmless opinion about drawn games??

 

[Geoffa32]

To all the draw fans, do me a favour.

Next time you’re watching a riveting movie, just turn it off with 10 minutes to go.

The Sopranos ending....

I think what you see is the difference in population. But everything we complain about the AFL is magnified 100 times by every American sport. So be careful what you wish for.

See you’re getting it

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

Extra time, hate draws, don't care about tradition when AFL changes so rapidly nowadays.
