Bizarre end to the match in Launceston today....
-
"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final -
They need a new siren at Launceston.
Freo up by 1 point, ball in Saints' forward line, siren goes, umpires didn't hear it, a Saint scores a point.
It gets more interesting. Umpires confer, they don't know what to do; the score is annulled. The saint was dumped after he kicked it so he got another kick. He scores another point a full three minutes after the game ends.
Result: Draw. The most bizarre ending to a game I have ever seen.
Trivia: This is Fremantle's first ever drawn game."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final -
absolute disgrace - afl has sunk to a new lowRoosy = LEGENDComment

Freo wuz robbed!
Can/Will the AFL cancel that last score?Comment

No. The rules of the game dictate that a quarter ends when the umpire blows the whistle and raises his arms in the air. The sounding of the siren does not end the game; it only lets the umpires know when the time has expired.Originally posted by ugg

They should as the game was actually complete before Baker got his hands on the ball the first time. Whether they will or not is a totally different story.Originally posted by ugg

I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Well then did the umpires do that then. If they didn't hear the siren the first time then why would they blow the whistle after that. FARCICAL.Comment

One of the most disgraceful end to a game I have ever witnessed. In a game worth millions we have a $2.00 siren.(Funny how the Freo guys heard it as one but the 3 blind mice couldn't). I know they can't but the AFL should award the match to the team who won the game in the legal time...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

I think the siren should be supplemented by flashing lights."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Or maybe the 3 blind mice could wear earpieces so they can confer with someone who actually has a clue what is going on.If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?Comment

That was a joke. If Launceston doesn't have the facilities to hold AFL matches then it never should.
Freo deserved that win. The draw was totally unsatisfactory.Comment

That's a disgrace. The umpires should have looked up to check. The timekeepers should have kept blowing the siren.
Imagine if Baker had kicked a goal and Freo had lost!
The AFL should change the result.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
