As i posted here last week re weakness of Harry O'brien.
Good to see the saints expose him in a marking contest where he was outmarked by Milne in the last quarter. ( saints took him back deep so it was a one on one, then just send a high ball in )
As Infamy says, I know nothing about football. ;)

Replay rule here to stay: AFL
By Jennifer Witham
Sun 26 Sep, 2010


THE AFL will not introduce extra time for drawn grand finals, CEO Andrew Demetriou said on Sunday.

St Kilda and Collingwood drew 68-apiece on Saturday afternoon, forcing an administrative scramble as the League prepares to stage only the third grand final replay in VFL/AFL history.

Broadcasters Channel 7 requested a twilight or night replay but Demetriou said it “wasn’t the right time to experiment” with changing the game’s start time.

Demetriou said it was important to maintain the game's uniqueness and avoid a knee-jerk reaction to Saturday’s draw.

"The AFL is of the view that a drawn grand final is a significant part of our game, and part of what makes our sport ... so unique,” he said on Sunday morning.
 
"All clubs, players, fans and supporters are aware that we will always replay a drawn grand final.

“We have done our best not to follow other sports.

“Since 1897 there have only been 146 draws in the competition with just three in grand finals.

“For anyone there yesterday, I don’t think they will forget the experience of being at the grand final."

Demetriou said the AFL would ratify a rule by close of business on Monday to prevent the teams from drawing again next week. Extra time will be played if the replay also ends in a draw.

“It would be a really huge ask to ask the clubs to come back again a week later,” he said.

“There are people that have made plans for this week and next, other sporting organisations.

“We understand the VRC will be moving the Turnbull Stakes to Sunday, there’s a world cycling event next Saturday afternoon, there’s the Melbourne Heart/Melbourne Victory derby on Saturday night.

“We certainly don’t want to be disrupting too many other codes.”

Up to 16,000 further tickets will be made available to Collingwood and St Kilda members for the replay, on top of the 25,000 already allocated.

“This week gives us an opportunity to get more members in, and we’re pleased with that,” Demetriou said.

“We’ve had a debate already about whether all members will take up the offer - I hope they do, but if they don’t, the tickets will go on public sale.”

The AFL said it would put profits from the replay back into the game and its development.

The clubs will also be compensated for the cancellation of functions and players will be rewarded for participation in another match.

Pre-game entertainment for the replay is yet to be determined, and the City of Melbourne is cooperating with the AFL in securing the continuation of a live site.

My feeling about the replay is that Collingwood have more improvement in them given Swan really didn't have too much of an effect and even Didak was kept quiet for long periods. The question will be whether the pies can raise their game again after being so disappointed.

if you PM your bank details jack im willing to lay a wager Jolly will get scot free. No report no suspensions coming his way.

The AFL is a joke. No reports but if it was round 1 you bet he would be having a holiday.

I can't see the pies getting up after thinking they could blow them out of the water.  They were fumbling by the end of the second in exhaustion.  That will be in their heads messing with em.

Maxwell looks like a big rabbit with those two front teeth. I hope he and his filthy mob end up like the boiled bunny in Fatal Attraction next Saturday. Go Saints!
