No more Grand Final replays as AFL Commission agrees to 'golden score'

Grand final draw, will go to time on (5 min each way), then if still drawn,... next score wins!

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

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

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

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

Wild! then so tragic... or euphoric!

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)

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.

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...

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.

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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
