I just did it, and have absolutely zero confidence in the results having any impact whatsoever. I felt better though, letting my thoughts be known.

I voted yes to a countdown clock.

Hate the countdown clock.

Those few minutes when you don't know how long to go are priceless

No suprise there Andrew seeing as you played basketball in your younger days.

Why do you want a clockdown clock? I don't see what it adds, only what it takes away.

It seemed to me like it was worded to make the AFL look good.

I got most of the way through and stopped because I didn't like any of the options listed.

I got the same feeling, the questions were definitely loaded.

Absolutely. They need to have an iPhone app or something, so those who want to know can, but one of my absolute pet hates are those who call out the remaining time. “Oh, hey everyone, there's only 2 minutes left!” Totally wrecks the suspense.

The other effect of a countdown clock is obviously on the game. Whilst I'm sure the runners are telling the players how long to go, having a countdown clock would influence the game itself.

I just like the idea of knowing how long is left. I can picture myself, getting more and more animated with my instructions to the players, knowing that there's only a minute to go, and the frustrating building because they're not listening to me To me, a close game with only a short amount of time remaining is very suspenseful, and terrifically exciting.

Ease up on the "younger" bit I only stopped playing last year. And I'm not old.

I don't see how we don't have that already.

We do, I'd just rather know how long there is left.

I did it and in the spots that I could write in I bitched out everything else that erks me except the rulles.

Don't like the look of some of those questions. Hope they don't change the time keeping system next year

Next year you can watch the game live on your phone and check the clock out.
