AFL introduces extra time for 2010 AFL grand final replay next Saturday

[b]AFL boss Andrew Demetriou admits the league has gone outside its own rules to schedule extra time for next Saturday's grand final replay between Collingwood and St Kilda.[/b]

He said the AFL commission had ruled to introduce extra time despite current regulations which state that a drawn grand final would be replayed over and over until it produced a result.

But he said the AFL would again review its policy on drawn grand finals, with extra time possible in the event of a draw in 2011.

Meanwhile, the AFL will release 16,000 tickets normally reserved for non-competing clubs to go with 40,000 normally given to the two teams in the match.

The 56,000 ticket will go on sale from Monday and Demetriou said there would mean a higher attendance by fans of competing clubs than ever before.

Demetriou said there would be no grand final parade on Friday and the week would be kept low key.

And he said the league would consider compensation to both Collingwood and St Kilda for the cancellation of scheduled events such as Friday's Copeland Trophy.[/quote]

Keep it to the other thread. No point in having two. Not enough Aussies on this forum.
Plus, they're not changing it for next year. The change is only for this years grand final replay.

I was at the G. I'm pissed.

Didn't say there weren't a lot of us - I said there weren't enough to justify to afl threads.
