No Contest: Magpies Blast Saints In Rematch To Take AFL Crown

At Melbourne, Australia:

In the replay of last weekend's Australian Rules Football Grand Final, which was deadlocked at 68 points apiece, the Collingwood Magpies left nothing to chance as they thrashed the St. Kilda Saints 108-52 on Saturday to win their first Australian Football League championship since 1990 (the Saints are still looking for their first since 1966).

Aussie Rules Grand Final: Replay?!

At Melbourne, Australia:

For the first time since 1977 on Saturday, the Australian Football League's Grand Final finished in a draw, deadlocked at 68 between two suburban Melbourne clubs, the Collingwood Magpies (looking for their first title since 1990) and the St. Kilda Saints (in search of their first crown since 1966).  The two teams will play each other again in a replay which will take place next Saturday in Melbourne.  In case regulation time ends in another deadlock, 10 minutes of overtime would be played.
