what will the Freo / Saints outcome be?

One club is going to be unhappy whatever the AFL decide to do.

Personally, I think they should give the points to Freo.

Poor old Freo, my heart goes out to them.

Can you imagine how much worse it could have been had Baker kicked his second shot at goal? And when did the umpires realise that time was up? Was it when they saw Connolly and the Freo coaching staff along with Michael Roberts on the ground? LOL

Should be an interesting week.

Except in this case - start the game from when Freo was leading by a point and give it twenty seconds.

Supposition: If the game does not end until the controlling official hears the siren, blows the whistle and raises his arms... how come they are still not playing? If he hasn't heard the siren they should be about 18hours(rough estimate out of my a***) into the final quarter.

Seriously I think it's absolutely appalling, the game and points should go to Fremantle and the Umpire should be dropped to the twos for a few weeks, have his hearing checked and the officials in Lauceston should get a new siren!

However, even with an investigation I bet nothing changes:
1. The TAB have already paid out for a draw
2. I've already received notice of my tipping results - damn I'd picked Freo.
There is no way they are going to change anything with all that money involved. History for 2006 - Freo were robbed.

Freo were robbed, give them the points. Punters etc are stuffed, but that is the risk you take betting on sports.

I agree with Lucy - get Launceston a new siren. And make it loud enough to be heard in Hobart...

Aker, I think we've found the perfect job for you after you've finished playing.

That's it I'm leaving far too many people agreeing with me! :)

As for you Fred - it's a well known fact Aker what's to run an AFL league in Japan!

The result SHOULD be a win to Freo, but the rules say the game ends when the umpires hear the siren, and when they did scores were level which will be the official result of the game.

Not for the first time, St Kilda get gifted two premiership points at the expense of an 'interstate' team. Not good enough by the timekeepers, Aurora Stadium and the AFL.

REB - according to one writer yesterday, the non-controlling umpire at the far end of the field heard the siren and sprinted to the centre square to tell the controlling ump but stopped, cupping his ear trying to hear the (expected) continuous siren until the controlling ump signalled that he had heard it.

The whole thing is a schemozzle, but give the Dockers the 4 points, and the whole thing will be forgotten by the end of Rivalry Round.

Pretty much every thing you said, actually.

but give the Dockers the 4 points, and the whole thing will be forgotten by the end of Rivalry Round.

Agree again. I(f they make the draw stand it will linger the whole year. Could you imagine if the WAnchors missed the 8 by two!

Could have said it better myself Chrisso.

Someone should remind that sanctimonious self-righteous goose that he can't handball the moral development of his kids to anybody, least of all the AFL. If he really expects the AFL to be pillars of integrity he shouldn't ever be let out of the house without supervision.

Chances of Fat Andy reading it: Same as Carlton's

Chances of FA turning up at the Dome as requested: Same as chrisso's of replacing Kevin Sheedy as coach of Essendon before Round 9

Is Adrian Anderson a goose?

What a pair.
