    I liked the replay myself, it happens so rarely, but I see why others would not like it.

    I liked the replay as well - but it makes sense to change it. What is strange is that if scores are level after 10 minutes, they'll play till any point is scored to determine the winner. Surely it should be golden goal - i.e. next goal wins, not next point wins?

    A good decision. The previous arrangement may have been OK for Victorian teams but was manifestly unfair to interstate teams.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
