    ...they took a victory off St Kilda in 2006 in similar circumstances

    I don't agree that there were similar circumstances.

    AFL does not allow for a continuation after the siren as in NRL. When the siren sounds in AFL the game is over when the umpire hears it and signals accordingly.

    In the St Kilda game it went 20 seconds after the siren. There were people on the ground who had heard the siren shouting at the umpire. The so called "error" in the Storm game was a fraction of a second and only after the game was it raised.

    The result in the AFL game was initially a draw and was reversed to a win for Freo.
