Kicks after the siren in Australian rules football

This article contains dynamic lists that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

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 opportunity for a set shot lost) once 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[edit]

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.

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.[166]
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(Fremantle win) | Behind, but withdrawn on review | In a passage of play that occurred after the siren sounded inaudibly, Baker scored a behind to tie the game, and received an illegal bump.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.

142. ^ Lane marked a hurried kick directly on the siren, 15m out and on a slight angle. Lane's kick came extremely close to hitting the post, with several opposition players claiming that the ball had connected, but the goal was awarded after a brief conference between the field and goal umpire."TSL: Kingborough Tigers defeat North Launceston with disputed goal after the siren". 18 June 2022.
143. ^ As it was a knockout competition, confusion reigned as many supporters flooded the field, unaware that extra time had to be played. The extra time rule had changed from sudden death to a ten minute period consisting of two five-minute halves, after the previous season's pre-season competition. The sudden death format had caused confusion in the drawn quarter final between West Coast and Hawthorn in 1989, as both teams continued to play after time had expired (without the players knowing) until West Coast scored a behind to win. Essendon eventually won the game in extra time. Source
