I dont know.....it was pretty intense, but......all this pompous bullshit afterwards looks pretty staged. 100k people coming back to watch the same game the following week. Was the fix in?

what a stupid ruleComment -
That was intense. What an amazing game of footy!
Big winners are the AFL who get to sell another 100 000 tickets for $200+eaComment -
That was fuking amazing.
Was that tying the equivalent of an NFL playoff game still being tied after OT, i.e. being basically impossible?? At least NFL would play another OT period then (I think).
That sport may be more exhausting than Rugby or Soccer..Comment -
Had Collingwood been able to kick somewhat accurately then they easily would have won.
I can't imagine the odds of a tie in an 80 minute game like that.Comment -
This is the Magpies only weakness all year. It should have cost them this game.Originally posted by PrideComment -
The funny thing is that if the AFL equivalent of a Conference Final is tied, they do play overtime.Originally posted by Sunde91Comment -
Collingwood may come back next week and dump the Saints.Comment -
What will the line be next week?? Lower??
Is there an angle taking the dog or favorite, thinking one of them will find it tougher to bounce back emotionally? Physically, they should be equally depleted/refreshed.
Hard to say, the favorite (black team, wtf are their names??) blew a lead and drawed as 16.5 favs, while dog (red team) had a chance to win and blew it late, maybe now they lose faith and get beat soundly by the better black team; or are they now more motivated??
I WILL BE PLAYING THIS NEXT WEEK, SAME TIME ON SATURDAY (late friday/early saturday US time right
)??

This Steve Douglas guy is on every commercial break. I want to move to Australia.Comment -
Played again the following week.Originally posted by SlimWhat if next weeks game ends in a draw?Comment -
The guy that has 1/2 mill on Saints (6.50) will have to wait another week. I'm sure he has hedged and will be guaranteed a nice win.Comment -
Milne had the chance to win it for the Sainters.Comment -
What a joke this. Chances US off-shore books state rules for ties in Aussie Rules = 0Originally posted by Ace_of_Spades
Are the sides and totals graded while the MLs are postponed until next week?Comment -
yah my parlay still shows the game as pending when it definitely should be a push for the game.
I am going to take the magpies ML next week for sure.Comment -
I really don't know. My friend's Saints +16.5 bet was already graded but I don't know of anyone who had an ML bet.Originally posted by Sunde91Comment -
Futures will still be pending.Comment -
All normal time bets should be returned and voided.Comment -
what a game saints next week for sureComment -
I had saints line +16.5 and ML (also took live bet on saints +31.5) i got half of a winning dividend back on the ML. I also picked the Medalist being Lenny Hayes
Cant wait for next week now but yeah I do agree the rule of playing again is ridiculous every one here in oz even cant believe it.. hasnt happened for over 30 years. Oh well another oppurtinity to win some money I guess

Why did ESPN stop showing these games years ago?That is some good shit.
Comment -
I had Magpies ML... I lose Half my potential winnings on Pinny... Went for 3 units.. lost 1.5 units...
what a ridiculous joke... That's not even by North American Standards... Did you see the players reactions... They are all bloodied and beaten... They wanted to play... what a stupid league office...Comment -
Pretty awful. Should be bet voided, and money returned.Originally posted by BetterBiznessComment -
I'm surprised any money was returned at all unless the book didn't have the draw option. Sportingbet did at $51 so I'm assuming anyone who had an ML bet just straight out lost although maybe they took pity on people and refunded some of their money. Would've been a major payday for them though if they just treated the wagers as normal ones.Originally posted by Ace_of_SpadesComment -
there was no draw option at my book so luckily that part of the parlay was canceled.Comment -
It has been a rule since the start of the vfl that if the teams drew they would come back the following week Nd do it all again. In the 120 years of afl this is the 2 grand final that will be repeated. Was on collingwood to win by under 39, thought it was a lock at. Didn't take into account that collingwood always gets the wobbles in the finalsComment -
3rd time: 1948, Melbourne/Essendon and 1977 North/Collingwood. But yeah, I'd be pissed if I had either ML bet. What a lot of buildup for nothing. At least Maxwell spoke out and said what I'm sure so many others were thinking although I doubt they'll change the rules anyway.Originally posted by Buckles85Comment -
Collingwood have had a bad run with them loosing to the Saints last time they met in the grand final. But i'm in favour
of the rule to replay the final the following week. if your not good enough to win in normal time then you should come back the next week and prove who is the better team.Comment -
A draw has only happened twice in the Grand Final's history. I'm looking forward to next week's rematch!Comment -
They must have used the dead-heat rule since there was no ML. That pays half the value to both bets.
