Kicks after the siren in Australian rules football

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains incomplete lists that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by with entries that are reliably sourced.

In Australian rules football, if a player takes a mark or is awarded a free kick before the siren sounds to end a quarter, and the siren sounds before the player takes a set shot, the player is allowed to take the kick after the siren. Often, the result of this kick is of little consequence, but if the player is within range of goal, any score will count towards the final result.

The right to take a set shot after the final bell was enshrined in the Laws of the Game prior to the 1889 season;[1] prior to this, the ball was declared dead and any right to a set shot lost as soon as the bell sounded.[2]

Below is a list of occasions where game results have been decided by set shots taken after the final siren, a play similar to the buzzer-beater in basketball. These are highly memorable and often go down in football folklore.

Miscellaneous[]

There have been some cases of a kick after the siren which cannot be properly classified into one of the above tables due to extraordinary circumstances surrounding the outcomes of the games.

Player Competition Team Opponent Year Score Outcome Details
1 Considine VFA North Melbourne Footscray 1920 51–56
(No result)		 No kick North Melbourne trailed 51–56 in the semi-final, and Considine had a shot after the bell from 30yds out. Fans stormed onto the field, and prevented Considine from taking his kick. The players eventually left the field, the match was declared a no result and a replay was held the next week.[152]
2 David Collins Tasmanian State Premiership North Hobart (TANFL) Wynyard (NWFU) 1967 91–92
(No result)		 No kick North Hobart trailed 91–92, and Collins had a shot after the siren from 20m out. Home-team Wynyard fans stormed onto the field, and prevented Collins from taking his kick right up until the Wynyard fans had taken down the goalposts, making a set shot impossible. Collins never got to take his kick, the match was declared a no result and the 1967 state premiership was withheld. For more details, see 1967 Tasmanian State Premiership Final.
3 Steven Baker AFL St Kilda Fremantle 2006 94–94
amended to
93–94
(Fremantle win)		 Behind, but withdrawn on review In a passage of play that occurred after the siren sounded inaudibly, Baker scored a behind to tie the game, and received an illegal bump. He elected to cancel the behind and take a set-shot, which (with the umpires having now heard the siren) was a true after-the-siren kick. He scored another behind, drawing the scores level 94–94. However, four days later, Fremantle successfully challenged to have the result of the game amended to 94–93, reflecting the scoreline when the siren originally sounded. This decision cancelled Baker's kick. This incident is often dubbed as "Sirengate", for more details see AFL siren controversy.

  25. ^ This goal at the end of the preliminary final put Hawthorn into the Grand Final. A free kick was awarded to Buckenara about 50m from goal just before the siren sounded. He was brought closer to goal due to a 15-metre penalty paid against Jim Stynes for running across the mark. Adding to the confusion, none of the on-field umpires could hear the siren over the capacity crowd, and it was not until the encroachment of police onto the field that the umpires recognized that the siren had sounded and brought an end to the game; Stynes' infraction occurred while the siren was still sounding but before it had been acknowledged.

  35. ^ Carlton had come back from 44 points down in the final quarter to hit the lead with 26 seconds to play. But Geelong won the centre clearance and Riccardi marked just inside 50m with 15 seconds left. His kick after the siren from outside 50m looked ugly off the boot but sailed through to steal the match. Video of last 4 minutes
  36. ^ With 20 seconds remaining, Port Adelaide cleared the ball from a centre stoppage and Poulton marked directly in front. His drop punt from just outside 50m sailed through the middle. Video
