We take a closer look at one of the most controversial finishes to a match in AFL history. A fiery contest between St. Kilda and Fremantle all the way back in Launceston, 2006 now known as Sirengate.

You could have added how that by adding the new "chime" in the umpires earpiece has actually caused a new controversy to happen in the future. In 2014 in a hawthorn game against adelaide at adelaide oval, umpire Ray Chamberlain stopped play just before the quarter ended believing he heard the chime in his ear signalling the end of the quarter but it wasnt. He balled the ball up and a few seconds later the actual siren went. He said to a player that he heard the chime in his ear thats why he did it but the afl confirmed there was no Chime and they dont know what noise he may have heard to mistake it for the chime (maybe it was static noise or a brief buzz who knows).

Would love to see a video about the Father-son rule. It's one of the weirdest concepts in world sport and seems super counter-intuitive for a league that strives for parity.

@neiltodd9657 11 ай бұрын

I agree that it's not great for parity, but it's great for the romance - and the culture - of the game.

@taimarg 11 ай бұрын

the afl does the exact opposite of striving for parity.

Hey guys, great channel; I love the animations and music. Quick suggestion: I've been looking for some good non-fiction books on footy, real classics of the genre (much like The Game by Ken Dryden is to hockey). I'm a Canadian footy fan and a late convert, and am interested in the history of the sport (recent and/or ancient). So I was wondering if you had any recommendations. It could also be the content of a new video.

I'm a big fan of 'Time and Space' by James Coventry, a really interesting history of football tactics. If you want something epic, they published a big red book called 'The Australian Game of Football' in 2008 for the 150 year anniversary of the sport, which is one of my prized possessions. If you want something recent and scandalous, 'The Boys Club' is interesting.

John Devaney's two histories of the game, A Far Off Land and A Stolen Dream, are worth reading.

@FootyA2Z most were confused but understood it to be a draw. I remember an annoying kid who was a Saints fan near me that was upset, but his Dad was telling him not to worry as they got 2 points.

I'm curious if there is a law about faulty equipment or not using equipment properly. The siren was used but not loud enough. This was unacceptable for a professional sporting organization.

Yet another loss to the poor old saints 😢

@SamsMovies 3 ай бұрын

Amazingly, to this day I still feel the saints were robbed. Sure, freo did win in reality. However, an AFL match ends when the umpire blows his/her whistle, not when the timeclock was meant to signal the end of the game, not when the siren was supposed to sound and certainly not when the afl steps in and changes the rules... If the saints got the 2 points from that result they would have made the top 4 and could have maybe (******maybe*****) stolen a premiership. Frustrating how afl rules and rule changes effected the saints in 2006, 2010.

@injanhoi1 2 ай бұрын

Rule 10.4.1

@TotalDramaOwenandNoah Ай бұрын

the rule should be void for the sake of the integrity of the afl in this kind of situation and hah, no way saints were beating sydney or west coast in the finals if they needed a daylight robbery to go their way to make top 4 thats just like saying ben keays "point" wasn't actually a goal against sydney because the goal umpire ruled it as a behind come on, its common sense, its actually shocking to see how much it lacks and if anything, freo would have been more likely to beat the eagles instead of the crows in the first qualifying final (as they would have been 4th and eagles were 1st) and the dockers beat the eagles twice that season, so if there was more a team that was likely to steal a premiership between the two, it was definitely fremantle
