Round 22 the lesser games
- Thread starter YinnarTiger
- Start date
I thought it was when the ump signals he's heard it and thus signals end of play? Because that didn't happen. It was very similar to Georgies last week, maybe the siren went when the ball was 2 feet from his hands compared to George's one.
Anyone can say this. Quarter/game's over when umpire puts his two arms up, doesn't matter how long the siren blasts. It's been debated before on this forum.
Must be crazy air with those Saussies. Crows and Port had an open door for the finals and have both blown their chances.
Agree with TF - this was debated on here when the Launceston-gate match happened.
The umpires didn’t hear the siren and the game went on for minutes before they realised and stopped the game. Nichols was the umpire and it affected the end result as it was a close game. Saints were playing Hawks from memory.
No the game is not over until the umpire signals that fact. The siren can go for as long as it takes for the signal from the ump
Yep exactly, he marked after the siren. Begs the question why not have a review of when the siren went in these instances? Any scoring opportunities are reviewed but not for a blown siren?
My recollection tells me Tigerforce is correct, the only way the game is over is when the umpire raises their hands. With lots of umpires on the ground now I suppose that means one umpire raises their hands and the game is over. So, if one umpire calls a mark but one of the other umpires has already raised their hands then the mark would not count.

100% big richo - the umpires control when the game stops, not the time keeper.
