There's a comment by one of the coaching staff for the teams in the paper, seems they didn't have a problem with it, their own time clocks displayed no irregularities.

Thats pathetic! pies couldve kiked a goal in 40 seconds.
That's unbelievable!
North could have kicked 3 or 4 more goals in that 30 seconds. Damn timekeepers.
Actually it was just a stuff up by the TV clock. The timekeepers clock was right and the siren sounded when it was meant to.

Pies weren't robbed

THE mystery of the missing 20 seconds has been solved.
An AFL investigation has revealed the timekeepers at Sunday's Kangaroos-Collingwood match originally stopped the clock, but quickly rectified it.
As Kangaroo Nathan Thompson lined up to kick the winning goal, the countdown clock featured in Channel 9's coverage suddenly dropped from 34 to 14 seconds.
By the time the ball was bounced in the centre square, four seconds remained.
But the AFL yesterday said the Magpies were not robbed of 20 seconds and a chance to kick a levelling goal from the centre bounce.
When Thompson completed the mark there were 44 seconds left on the clock.
The central umpire ran in to indicate a mark to the Kangaroos. He raised his arm horizontal to the ground to point the direction the kick was to be taken.
The timekeepers, anticipating a time-off signal on seeing the umpire's hand out, stopped the clock in case it was a time-off signal.
As soon as they realised the umpire hadn't signalled time-on, they cancelled the time-off clock, which meant the normal countdown clock took over. That explained the clock suddenly dropping 20 seconds on the screen.
The field umpire did not signal time-off because he believed the act of play was continuous and a normal mark and set shot for goal situation.
An umpire will signal time-off only if a player throws the ball away or places it on the ground.
Thompson went back and prepared for a set shot as usual, maintaining possession of the ball.
"No time was lost. They (timekeepers) acted appropriately," AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said yesterday.
Channel 9 head of football Cos Cardone yesterday said the TV time-clock was linked to the clock used by the timekeepers.
"We didn't pick it up (the missing 20 seconds) at the time. It's only today when the guys were looking back on it they said, `Gee, look at this'," Cardone said.
