St Kilda has been fined $12,000 by the AFL for committing a series of punctuality offences before and during last Saturday's drawn grand final against Collingwood at the MCG.

"The club was late for the commencement of the 2010 ... grand final parade, late on ground for the start to the 2010 grand final and late to return to their positions after the three-quarter time break," the AFL said in a statement.

"The club provided an explanation of each instance after a formal notice from the AFL earlier this week and a total sanction of $12,000 was deemed appropriate."
