"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final -
In my junior footy time-keeping days that was always my policy!Originally posted by floppinab
What the hell were the timekeepers thinking, keep blowing the thing until the bloody umps hear it for @@@@s sake.
I's lay odds there will be a new siren before the next game at Aurora. It would have to be the cheapest part of what they have spent regarding the venue already.
IIRC Manuka also has a p***weak siren.Comment

I suspect so, but that is also not in the rules!Originally posted by Big Al
I think they got the idea when Connolly was running toward them

Just took a look at the rules :
10.4.1: End of Quarter
The Timekeepers shall sound the siren to signal the end of a quarter until a field umpire acknowledges that the siren has been heard and brings an end to play.
10.4.2: Siren Heard by Field Umpire
Play in each quarter shall come to an end when any one of the field umpires hears the siren.
So given that 10.4.1 was not adhered to (i.e. siren was not sounded until the umpie acknowledged) I would say the league cannot possibly let the result stand.Comment

Hmm...we won the premiership in 1909, didn't we? Funny that St. Kilda was involved in that game too...Originally posted by Thunder Shaker
In 1909, St Kilda beat Geelong at Corio Oval by 1 point. In the match St Kilda played a suspended player. Geelong appealed and St Kilda forfeited the premiership points.
This decision ultimately gave St Kilda the 1909 wooden spoon.
Incredible stuff. As if last year's St.Kilda-Freo matches weren't exciting enough. Saints won by a point in Launceston last year, and I'm sure everyone remembers Freo's after-the-siren win in Round 21!

If the siren sounds in Tasmania, and the umpires don't hear it, does it make a sound?Comment

The rules of the game have not been complied with hence I think Fremantle have a legitimate legal case. The AFL should also step in and change the result as the rules of the game have not been complied with.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

The result will stand BECAUSE of rule 10.4.1 as it states, "UNTIL a field umpire acknowledges that the siren has been heard and brings an end to play". The umpire did not hear the siren and thus play continued. The draw will stand.Originally posted by floppinab

You're right, but as I stated the Timekeepers did not sound the siren until the acknowledgement, 10.4.1 was not followed by the Timekeepers. As such Freo should (have) appealed the result and the result should be changed.Originally posted by Matt79

I've seen similar situations before, timekeepers usually keep sounding the horn (beeeeeep, sometimes with gaps, beep, beep, beep) until they get the acknowledgement from the umps.Comment
