Lol, no, there isn't one.

The draw is awesome,

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOUR OF THE DRAW

- You get to play the draw song. Note that this is a good enough argument to make the rest superfluous.

- Collingwood and Hawks are probably going to feature in the spicy end of the season. Having the draw adds in awesome leapfrogging abilities on the ladder which is more interesting than just percentage, which is hard to figure out without a calculator.

- It's traditional. It's been in the game for a long time, even longer than traditions like Richmond v Carlton in round one.

- Other sports have it and it works out fine. There is only one sport I can think of where the draw can cause rioting and killing and that's soccer. But wins, losses, your favourite boating supply shop being sold out of flares, wearing the wrong colours to the wrong pub and days ending in y also cause soccer fans to have violent tantrums so I don't think it counts.

- The silence of a draw is a spectacle all in itself. When you're at the footy with your Nan' and she has been constantly screaming saying "won't those ******* **** ***** barracking for the ******* ********** shut the **** up" you can say "See Nan' they do shut up sometimes". You might get a clip around the ear if you do this though.

Arguments against the draw

- Jack Riewoldt wants to keep the draw, he likes it. I know some people don't like Jack so they might not like agreeing with him.
