Personally I don't like the idea - tradition says repeat the GF and that's what should happen.

I think it takes away the Moment of the "GRAND FINAL"
and if a draw is at end of time, extra time is added.
good move.

Was a good move/decision.
Replay the next week, like what happened in 2010 is stupid.
Would be harder on interstate sides for fans and team
