absolutely bizarre

The siren went with Freo one point ahead but the umpires didn't hear it. Saints kicked a point to level the scores, then the umpires called time. Rules state that the game's over when the umpire says so. But the timekeeper is supposed to blow the siren till the ump hears it. So the game was a draw. But Freo appealed to the AFL and won.....so, we lost.
Probably deserved to lose given the way they played but the two points for the draw would've been handy!
Such is life.
