No one disputes that.
I think this is the issue - and different to last week's one...
Quote:10.4 End of Quarter
(a) The Timekeeper shall sound the siren until a field Umpire acknowledges that the siren has been heard and brings play to an end.
(b) In the event the field Umpires do not hear the siren, the Timekeeper may advise the field Umpires of the end of the quarter via the Umpires communication system.
This rule is not well known by football fans and clearly states that the umpires are the sole judge of when a quarter ends.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
