THE AFL has scrapped the Grand Final replay, with extra time to decide this year's premiership in the case of a draw.
The League confirmed the historic decision on Tuesday following a meeting of the AFL Commission.
A Grand Final replay has taken place three times – in 1948, 1977 and most recently in 2010 when St Kilda lost to Collingwood.
Under the new rules in the case of a draw, two five-minute halves each way, plus time on, will be played to decide a winner.
If the scores are still tied at the end of the second period, the siren will not ring until the next score, which will decide the flag.

Whilst im glad they're getting rid of the replay, cant say I like the fact you could loose by a rushed behind

Loads of benefits from that extra match. All the media must have loved it. The MCG and AFL would have gotten more money and loads of fans got to go to a game they wouldn't have been able to. Maybe a bit rough on St Kilda fans paying twice and not winning, but if you can't afford to go you can always stay home. In the future, the AFL could have taken the chance to play the grand final elsewhere the second week if there was a non Vic side playing.

it was massively anticlimactic though, having to come back and do it all again for a full game.
Extra time in a grand final on the other hand will be as about as exciting as it gets

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
