Hall of Famer
I've been following the game for a long time and I must say I never have.
In a womens' senior final in Sydney on the weekend, one of the sides was late out after half-time. All the usual sirens had been blown, the umpires waited more, one umpire ran over to the rooms and blew his whistle. Still no sign of them, so the umpires ended up starting the third quarter with only one side of the ground.
That of course got them out on the field, but not before they had conceded an uncontested goal. And to rub salt into the wounds, they lost by 3 points.
