AFL Grand Final

Well the AFL Grand Final was the great anti-climax - a draw!

What I can't quite understand is, that for all the other matches in the final series, if there is a draw then they have extra time. Why not the same for the Grand Final?

Now in Melbourne and in some other parts of Australia, AFL is a religion. Think of the inconvenience for all the people who now have to arrange to get back to Melbourne for the replay.

The solution for the future is obvious. There should be 10 minutes extra time each way in the event of a draw. If it is still a draw after extra time, then have a replay the next week.
