Siren Controversy

In April 2006, a bizzare incident occurred when during a St Kilda Saints versus Fremantle Dockers match the final siren went, with Fremantle a point in front. The siren to end the game sounded during a stoppage for a ball-up, but the umpire in charge of the ball at the time did not hear the siren, and carried on play despite the reactions of the Fremantle players around him. According to the laws of the game, the game has not ended until the umpire acknowledges the siren by raising both hands in the air, and that the siren should be sounded by the timekeepers until the umpire acknowledges. What followed was a farcical situation where play continued for approximately six seconds, St. Kilda levelling the scores in that period, that score being cancelled and then St. Kilda being awarded a free kick, off which a behind was scored, levelling the scores again. After a protest the AFL commission conviened and overturned the result to award Fremantle the game.
