@buzzydog112 Evidently the time wasn't called. Hence the point kicked after the siren. Games are decided on the error of officials often but the result stays the same and that is the case across almost every sporting code.

@sagnowski The game was ended. siren was blown and one of the umpires heard it and called time. Are you saying that you should be able to kick points after time had been called?

I just realised conolly kind of looks like an older ballentyne
-
It should have been 0 seconds left with the ball up then after the ball up the siren goes, no time for a point!
-
you can hear the siren at 0:02 but its hard to hear. very hard to hear
-
HAHAHAHAHAH
-
I was there :)

@mhull14 yeah im not saying thats not the case. but before this happened it had never been an issue. also you saying that doesnt change anything that i said about the siren being shit, coz it was, and how it wasnt an umpiring mistake, coz it wasnt.
-
@mcllamalam the timekeepers duties is to keep blowin the siren untill acknowledged by either 1 of the 3 field or emergency umpires by extendin their arm above their head, all the original talk bout sackin the umpires should never have been bought up coz the timekeeper would have known bout it the hole time.
After this incident, all field umpires r hooked up with their microphines with the timekeepers

@sagnowski its not poor umpiring its a crappy siren.
Im a dockers fan, im a member, we won that game fair and square, finished in draw, later that week they said they are taking 2 points of ST KILDA and giving us the full 4 points. They should have finished straight after that ball up.
