A draw is in fact a result! Not a pleasant one and obviously not a very acceptable result to many but a result none the less. A draw means both teams are dead equal after the game has finished. So some want to play some more time till one side wins,some even want that ridiculous soccer rule of penalty shoot out.Some want anything other than the simple result that after the game was finished no side won,no side lost.
To play the game again a week later is the most ethical,sensible and respectful to the players and club solution for everyone. This gives both these teams the chance to win the premiership again within the rules and the time alloted. If by sheer miracle it was a draw again I would support giving two cups ,just like when the Brownlow is tied they give two medals.Comment

A draw is a result in the regular season when 2 points are awarded to each team, however the objective of finals is to eliminate teams until the two remaining teams play off in the Grand Final, with the reward for the Grand Final winner being the premiership. I would therefore argue that a drawn Grand Final is not a result and it would have been preferable in my opinion to play extra time. That said, I'm more than happy to sit down and watch another game of footy this weekend!Comment

They are playing extra time....just a week later thats all !!!!!Comment

The team that scores most in extra time is then the Premier. All kinds of things are wrong with this and could make it unfair . eg injuries, weather, umpiring mistakes in extra time, etc etc, things that balance out over 100 minutes. It will leave one team the winner but not a winner in a normal game of Aussie rules but the winner in extra time..the 20 minute game played after the main game...quite an extraordinary circumstance.I would rather give both teams the cup.they both have proved by the draw that they deserve it. Why is it so important to have just one winner when these two teams are dead equal.? We have dual winners in about everything else. Who gets the gold in the Olympic Games if it is a dead heat in a race? They both do!Comment

I don't understand when people say there wasn't a result? There was - the word is called, 'Draw'. I know I might be in the minority but I don't mind it. They couldn't split themselves so come back again next week. Everyone expects a result these days. Instant gratification. People will still be pumped up on Saturday come game time. It's old school and it's cool. And the people crapping on about how it's ruined their Wedding for this week, blah blah blah. Get over it.

Imagine in 05 or 06 if there was a replay and you were getting married the same day and you miss your team maybe winning a premiership. Would you just "get over it" ??? Do the supporters who spent a fortune in attending last week and can't back up again should they just "get over it". How about those supporters who can't get time off work now to watch the replay (like me this week
do they just "get over it"

I would be gutted if I was getting Married the next Weekend, but then again I wouldn't organise a Wedding the Weekend after. And I would be angry at myself for my stupid luck, not the AFL. Every die hard knows that it could have happened. And for every supporter that can't watch it this Weekend for one reason or another, there is another person that couldn't watch it last week that can now : )
People will always find something to complain about. I admit, there would not be as many people complaining if it had gone to extra time but everyone who has an idea knew that wasn't going to happen. If the AFL looks at changing the rule, interrupting people's social agendas the following Weekend should not be a deciding factor : )

This, and everything that Harti has said. It's a bizarre situation but it's the right one. Our footy is won by playing 80 minutes of footy. Changing the means by which you win the match is tantamount to not bothering with our game. That is the primary reason why soccer suck arse!Comment

Yes the should 'get over it' considering a draw has always meant coming back the next week.Imagine in 05 or 06 if there was a replay and you were getting married the same day and you miss your team maybe winning a premiership. Would you just "get over it" ??? Do the supporters who spent a fortune in attending last week and can't back up again should they just "get over it".

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
