There was a hilarious moment in the NFL where someone faked an official's whistle on a punt and the punting team's line relaxed. Resulted in a blocked punt.

The one were Gilbert had both arms around him stopping him from leading in the 2nd quarter?
Simple rule of thumb.
The game finishes when a field umpire hears the final siren.
If it cannot be heard for some reason, you play on until the siren or bell or whatever is acknoledged. The players should just butt out.
Fan, apparently.
He was actually in the right.
The rule says (Rule 10.4.1 for those who have no idea): 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 play yo an end.
Further in rule 10.4.2 Play in each quarter shall come to an end when any one of the field umpires or emergency field umpire/s hears the siren.
Therefore Nicholls was actually correct in applying the rule.

Lol please. It was nothing in the context of the match. Watch Harry, Harley and Scarlett grecco roman wrestle Riewoldt.
There is a big difference between an "interpretation" error (many of those listed here) and the 7 tackles example from the NRL. That was an across the board blunder from the Ref, the 2nd ref, the two touch judges, and the video ref. Someone had to bring it up with the main ref, and no one did.
Whether an AFL ball is out of bounds or a goal or point, can come down to the angle that the Ump is viewing it from. So it too is different from the NRL example.
The NRL one was plain dumb all round. When there is a plain "mechanical" umpiring process such as counting tackles, there should be a fool proof back up plan - and to me its as plain as the video ref, who has the TV feed and can see the count on the screen in addition to counting tackles himself, and nothing much to do in between times when he is asked to review a try, should have the ability once a try has been awarded, to speak to the ref (who is miked/earphoned up) and say "hey we need to review this one - there may have been an extra tackle in the set". And it should only get to that stage if none of the other on-field officials suspect it.

Ha ha - perhaps umpires should be checked pre-game for any wax-build up in their ears in the same vein they check on players' fingernails, boots, etc!!

What shits me is how there are different interpretations depending on the time of the game, and the location. The same things that earn a free in the first 10 minutes, or in the centre of the ground, suddenly don't when there's 2 minutes left, or when the ball is 15m out from goal.
The simple response to that is tough s**t.
That is the rule so bloody well put up with it.

Premature call for this thread.
Yes but the rule wasn't applied correctly. It clearly states that the timekeeper should continue to sound the siren until acknowledged by the field umpire(s) which didn't occur in the sirengate game. In tonights game we saw the rule correctly applied as the siren continued to sound until acknowledged by the umpire.
Was one eyed tonight but when they went to the centre for a bounce then decided to review the goal
That IS cheating

Same thing happened in the North vs Geelong (2nd match) earlier this year - Vardy kicked a goal, ball comes back to the center but then play stops before the score reviewer wanted to have a 2nd look at it. As with tonight, it stood as a goal.
The score reviewer is allowed to ask to review the footage - not cheating.

Man, was a handful tonight, The Rioli Mark, bartel tackle him, handballs to geelong player or the Rivers Out on the full which lead to Murdock Sharking a tap were infuriating, especially when Geelong had momentum
We got a pretty lucky one as well with Motlops HTB in the first quarter where he got the ball and was tackled by sewell immediatly after when Motlop didnt even have time to dispose of it

But is there a limit on time ?

Listening to commentary during the season, they have until the next passage of play to call for a review:
- Team A kicks for goal & umpire believes it was touched so signals a behind. If Team B is smart, the defender runs & gets a ball & kicks in before Team A has time to protest and have a review asked for because once the ball is in play I understand it that they can't stop the game to call for a review.
- Tonight's situation with the center bounce, because of the time they take for an ad break, it is what probably allowed the score reviewer to have a 2nd look and think things needed a further look. Why it seemed to take so long is that they were probably waiting for coverage to resume so that they could explain to the viewer what was happening but the decision may have been made 10 seconds earlier.

I remember that it was terrible, but at least now we have the rule where the ball comes back.
I remember the Collingwood-West Coast final last year when Krakouer's goal was called back from the box and then they overruled the on-field call with minimal evidence - that was probably the worst case of soemthing like that happening.
Freos grand final tonight. Mexican wave going round
