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

Yes, 3 in 70 years a draw at full time, but the probability of it again being a draw after extra time would be incredibly low

Actually, thinking about it more, the interchanges at the quarter breaks are free and above the 90 as it is, so they will surely get to change at the breaks as they normally do.

Except there is no break of play at the end of extra time, not even a siren. Once the 10 minutes is up its straight into golden point.

It's 5 minutes each end.....probably not!

You could imagine the outcry though if one end was favoured by a 5 goal breeze.

I kinda get both arguments on it, but imho I'd keep it as is. As has been said the instances of drawn GF's show how uncommon it is

In the last 10 years has there ever been a game at the MCG where 1 end is truly favoured by wind, let alone one that is worth 5 goal?

It's a paddock surrounded entirely with massive grand stands and there is no space for the wind to get through. It sure does swirl, but I can't remember it truly favouring 1 end recently.
