Brisbane, Oct 25 (TIWN) The Australian Football League (AFL), the Australian rules football competition, has tried to keep tradition alive for the Grand Final that was played on Saturday.

After the tournament was delayed and affected by Covid-19, a break from history was made by scheduling the tournament final at the Gabba in Brisbane instead of Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) where it has always been played. In fact, the final has never before moved out of Melbourne in its 123-year history and only once before it was played outside the MCG.

The organisers, however, decided to extricate and transport a section of grass from the goalsquare at MCG to Queensland.
