Kicks after the siren in Australian rules football

In Australian rules football, if a player takes a mark or is awarded a free kick shortly before the siren sounds to end a quarter, 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.

Below is a list of occasions where game results have been decided by set shots taken after the final siren. 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.[90]
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.
3Paul Peos Panasonic Cup West Coast Eagles Hawthorn 1989 89-88 (after extra time) West Coast win With scores level at 88-88 after normal time, the game went to golden point, with Paul Peos scoring a match-winning behind from fifty metres out directly in front in open play. This rule was scrapped shortly after.[91]
4Steven 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(Fremantle win) 		Behind, but withdrawn on review In a passage of play that occurred after the siren sounded inaudibly, Baker scored a behind to tie the game, and received an illegal bump.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. For more details see AFL siren controversy, 2006

  13. ↑ 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. Bruce Matthews (21 September 1987). "Ump tells". The Sun News-Pictorial (Melbourne, VIC). p. 100. Video
  14. ↑ The last of three consecutive free kicks to Adelaide was paid to Jameson 40m from goal with 20 seconds left. Jameson, a notably reliable kicker, converted after the siren from just inside 50m. Video

  22. ↑ Received a free kick for a push in the back with 2 seconds left, and kicked the goal after the siren from 30m. Farmer's goals (he kicked the last two of the match) gave Fremantle a come-from-behind win over his old club, Melbourne. Video
  23. ↑ 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
  24. ↑ 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
  25. ↑ Marked about 35m out on a slight angle and converted the shot after the siren. Video of last few minutes
  26. ↑ Awarded a free kick 20m out directly in front with the score tied. The siren sounded as he began his approach, and he kicked the goal sealing victory for the Swans. Hall remains the only player to twice win a match after the siren after doing so for St Kilda four years earlier. Video
  27. ↑ Took a screamer in the right forward pocket, 30 metres out on a 45-degree angle, and kicked truly after the siren to put Fremantle in the top eight with a round remaining in the season. The match itself was controversial, subsequently becoming known as the Whispers in the Sky match. Video
  28. ↑ Marked the ball right on the siren, 45 metres out almost directly in front. The mark was paid and he kicked the goal. This match later became associated with the Melbourne Football Club tanking scandal. Video
  29. ↑ Rugby league convert Karmichael Hunt marked with two seconds remaining, and kicked a goal from 25m out on a 45-degree angle. The win ended a twenty-one match losing streak for Gold Coast. Video of last 4 minutes
  30. ↑ Marked the ball at centre half forward on the 50m arc and lined up for goal. The siren went as Hawkins was walking in to kick the ball. Video of last 2 minutes

  37. ↑ Marked in the goalsquare with 5 seconds on the clock and goaled from point blank range after the siren. Video
  38. ↑ With less than a minute left Ryan levelled the scores with a behind, and, pressing on the attack, the ball went to Hickey, who marked just before the bell rang. With people swarming on to the ground his 45 to 50 yards punt kick went off the hands of Chitty for a behind. The kick directly resulted in Footscray displacing Carlton in the final four; it was the last round of home-and-away matches, and a draw would have been sufficient for Carlton to retain fourth place. "The Argus" 04.09.1944 p9
  39. ↑ Marked on the lead with seconds remaining in the First Preliminary Final. Needing only a score to win, Lockett kicked a behind from directly in front, just beyond 50m, to put the Sydney Swans into Grand Final for the first time in 51 years. Video
  40. ↑ Marked 20 metres out on a sharp angle with a second remaining, and kicked a point to win the match after the siren. Video of last few minutes
  41. ↑ Given a dubious 'holding the man' decision, kick fell short, punched through for a dubious 'rushed behind' decision.

  45. ↑ Blight kicked a point just before the siren to level the scores, but was infringed in the act, so was given the choice of accepting the behind or re-taking his kick. He elected to take another kick and missed everything. "The Age", 20 June 1977, p32.
  46. ↑ Ralph was paid a free kick 20 metres out and on an angle, needing a goal to secure the draw but missed narrowly. Real Footy
  47. ↑ Hit the post with a set shot after the siren. Game stats from AFL Tables
  48. ↑ Had a set shot next to the behind post for his eighth goal and the win, but missed the shot. Brisbane's Mike Richardson sat on the shoulders of the man of the mark Matthew Campbell, which caused the league to change the rules to allow only one man on the mark. Beasley was also harassed by Brisbane Bears fans who ran onto the field after the siren, with some alleged to have thrown dirt and beer at him, drawing criticism of crowd control at Carrara Stadium.

  59. ↑ In teammate Jason Akermanis' 300th game, Johnson marked the ball near the right-hand behind post, running back with the flight. He attempted to run around and snap for goal but was denied by the umpire. The siren then sounded and Johnson attempted a banana kick which missed, allowing Geelong to hand on to a 2-point win. Video of last 5 minutes
  60. ↑ Took a mark 40 metres out on a 45-degree angle, and missed to the right. Essendon's victory ended St Kilda's run of 19 successive wins from the beginning of the season. Video of last few minutes
  61. ↑ In their third AFL match, Gold Coast came from 40 points behind to hit the lead with 2 minutes remaining. Westhoff then had the chance to win the game for Port Adelaide, marking 35 metres from goal on a 30-degree angle to the left, but missed after the siren to the far side. This was Gold Coast's first ever AFL win. Video of 4th quarter highlights
  62. ↑ With one second left, Ballantyne was awarded a controversial free kick for deliberate out of bounds, 50 metres from goal. His shot after the siren appeared true, but faded to hit the far goal post, consigning Fremantle to a one-point loss. Video

  64. ↑ After a dramatic last quarter comeback from North Melbourne, McIntosh had the chance to win the match when he marked with 12 seconds left, 30 metres on a 45-degree angle. However, he pushed the ball across the face for a behind. Video of match highlights
  65. ↑ The last of three successive missed by Fremantle players, each of which would have put their side in front in the dying stages. Mundy marked 45 metres out on a 45-degree angle with 13 seconds remaining. His kick for goal narrowly missed to the right.

Blighty lodged an official protest, but it was dismissed.
