Next score wins!

Featured Replies

 

Idiotic. A symbol of how the afl has just pandered to corporate media types.

 

And next point wins with no siren after 10 mins? Imagine rushing a behind and losing the grand final. Imagine a score review to see if it hit the point post or not! Mental. 

Will love to be in the position that that might be an issue 110 minutes in the future!...;)

Imagine how insane that extra time on "next score wins" ball up and play would be!

Wild! then so tragic... or euphoric!

Should really be next GOAL wins. Winning a grand final from a rushed behind would be quite the anti-climax.


I like it  - i have been to a few drawn grand finals and apart from the very hollow feeling on the day the replays just seem to lack something.

Very happy not to have replays.

( however if it happens and the pressure that will bring with it  -  I am tipping you will see footballers reputations enshrined in folklore for both the right and wrong reasons)

Agree it should be "Golden Goal!", the old "next goal wins"...

i can take it or leave it

i used to be in favour of the rematch, but since they brought in draw-breakers for the other finals matches i guess it's more consistent

i wonder if the next step will be home and away draw-breakers?

 

The replay was archaic, had to go.

I'd rather just have continuous periods of 5 min each way extra time than golden point (or golden goal).

But I don't think the golden point after 1 set of extra time each way is all that bad.

It definitely needs a siren and reset from the centre of the ground. Can't just call it after the 5 minute periods finish.


I like it.  Think there needs to be a definite outcome on the day.  Making everyone come back and do it all again a week later just seems too cruel to me.   

I've got a close mate under a tight grip of his wife who hates the footy. She only lets him go to the queen's birthday and grand final (he is Collingwood). The look on her face when we explained that we would be going back the following week for a decider against Collingwood and saints almost makes up for Melbourne's lost decade.

Should have 50m goal kicks. 5 each way

Smacks too much of soccer for my liking!

Ummmmm no. 2 Grand Finals panders to "corporate media types".

Don't like it. Next score wins is crazy, maybe next goal. 

If scores are level after full time and level again after a further ten minutes plus time-on then I am happy with next score.

Seems to be the topic of the moment.  Pretty sure I heard on the radio news this morning that the NRL are also throwing around similar options for tied Thugby Grand Finals...

What about the tennis solution - first to get 2 goals in a row.  They could have a night GF that started at 2pm.

Makes some sense but even close to the end of the 5 minute periods teams will be trying to get any score anyway they can.  The golden goal smacks too much of a contrived ending going against the continuity and scoring philosophy  practiced for over a hundred years. 


Next point wins? Is that genuinely for real? Why not next goal? Other than that is a much overdue common sense decision to scrap the replay.

NRL already has golden point (which they use in the normal season as well). Last year's grand final went to golden point and was one of the all time great grand finals.

With the golden goal there could be the ludicrous scenario where a side scores six behinds in a row and then the other side scores a goal and the scores are still level. Does the golden goal scorer win or is  another golden goal required? Or if a side scores seven behinds and then concedes a goal, does the loser win? Will behinds need to be eliminated  from the golden goal period? There needs to be certainty that eliminate probabilities of unjust results.

 

Should be a siren at the end of the second 5 minutes, the ball bought straight back to the middle to equalise things and then next GOAL wins, not next point. Having no siren and next point is a recipe for disaster as someone may rush a behind 1 second after the 5 minutes without knowing it will cost them the game.

A golden goal disregarding behinds will be a corruption to how the game has been historically played and scored.  Normal games and grand finals can be won by a rushed behind so why change things? The golden goal scenario is rather ghoulish.  I agree the game resets but the team that gets into scoring position first deserves the first chance under normal game rules.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
