Cheating timekeeper at Brisbane

In the last quarter you were flogged. Fairly certain that the last time I checked winning the first 3 quarters didn't count for much if you got done in the last.

doesn't each club have a representative in the timekeepers box? if true - this would dispel all doubt i would have thought
in the unlikely event that it did happen - at least it happened in a match where it didn't affect the result.

Oh no!
Another one of these........"I'm not blaming this for us losing, BUT!!!" threads.
Move on....we flogged you in the last quarter, you got comprehensively rolled on the scoreboard and whining about an earlier inconsequential incident only makes you sound like a sore loser.

Some of u guys are embarrassing. Just accept that we lost. If we had won that game would u have even cared about it? Brisbane are a great team and well done to them, in my eyes it was a fair win.
We all accept that we lost. Its got nothing to do with winning or losing but the AFL not doing their freaking job properly like in siren gate. Its pretty much the same thing without the result of the game being on the line.

Why not its the AFL!!!
dodgy umpires
dodgy draw
dodgy rules
Secret Formulas
changing the rules mid stream
encourages tanking
what makes you think this should be any different
If it happened to any other team would you care?
The point is, you want an AFL investigation because you allege it happened to West Coast, if it happened the other way ie to Brisbane you would be silent.
After reading this thread I though West Coast must have lost by 1 point with Brisbane scoring after the final siren. How shocked was I to see they lost by 5 goals, that said goal was scored in the 3rd quarter and did not even put Brisbane in front at the time.
So not only are the time keepers cheats but also psychic as they were able to predict that West Coast would not be able to hold their lead for the whole quarter they had to rectify the 'mistake'.
I am sure that the West Coast players all knew the Power goal was clearly wrong and that is what made them give up in the last quarter because if the TV clock is not right there is just no reason to continue playing.

By using the word corruption you are saying that it was a deliberate act on the part of the timekeepers. How do you know it wasn't just an error by them? Or an equipment malfunction?
It's a pretty unfair accusation on your part.
No, the AFL timekeepers are AFL appointed officials. The club timekeepers haven't been used for around 10 years.

What a load of drivel. The timekeepers stop and start the clock dozens of times during a match in response to signals from the umpire. The TV time clock does the same thing but they very rarely match exactly. For the guy who is downloading it to double check, get your stopwatch out and see how close you get - you might even find that the official timekeepers were right and the TV crew got it wrong by those 3 seconds.
The better team won at the end of the day, I didn't even expect us to challenge let alone lead for 3 quarters, so was quite suprised to say the least .. I'll put it down to inexperience and having young blokes in the side for the 4th quarter collapse, not time timekeeper who happened to be doing his job
The official clock and the TV clock are one and the same thing - or so we have been told.

The OP wasn't great, but some of the responses are equally as moronic.
Sore loser, sour grapes, did the timekeeper kick Brisbane's last quater goals?, how do you know he deliberately did even if it was a mistake, Fox Sports timer is unoffical. Fail thread, I award you zero points, thanks for coming, go home.
good try but no bananas.
If you got to see behind the sceens you would realise every game is +/- 30 or so seconds ever qty.
Black was brilliant for 4 qtrs and kept them in the game for 3. His is under rated.

Timekeepers suspended for Lions-Eagles error
http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/91509/default.aspx
The result of the round-one clash, won by the Lions by 32 points, will stand despite the AFL discovering that 39 seconds of extra time was played in the second quarter, 49 seconds was played in the third quarter and 73 seconds in the final quarter.
So there ya go. And it did affect the final scoreline, in particular the 3rd quarter..

And the bl**dy last too. Shuey I think it was kicked a goal with a second or two to go.
I had $5 on Staker @ $21 to kick the last goal.
It probably did not even make a difference to the final margin at all. One goal extra each.
But you somehow forgot that........
