Don't reckon I'll see it in my lifetime.

3 drawn grand finals in history..... chances of that happening, not high. Chance of 5 mins each way still not deciding matters, not high.

My little bloke is 6. He's been alive for 1, I've been alive for 2 but chances are the probability would be squillions to one.

If you think about it, the prevalence of draws in Grand Finals is alot higher than in the minor rounds.
Three in 62 years or 1 in 21 games, thats a draw every 2 1/2 rounds of the regular season, if we had draws that often it'd be called Soccer

I actually think it'd be exciting to watch a 50m set-shot shootout from a 45 degree angle. Only goals count. The opposition can have a man on the mark plus players on the goal line and it'd be a best-of-5...obviously continuining until a deadlock is broken. Only one attempt per player.

Might as well go the whole hog with it.
Like the penalty shootout idea

I'd be interested to compare that stat with individual sides - how often does a team draw? 1 in 21 games?

You cant say "1 in 21 games, that's a draw every 2 1/2 rounds" because you have 9x games being played - not one.

When was the last time Hawthorn drew?

Yes, Grand Finals are played against two very evenly matched teams.

Minor round games are a different story.
