    SCG scoreboard countdown clock

    Any ideas why it disappeared for the last ten minutes of the last quarter at the Freo game? Just when we really needed it!

    Global warming ?????????? That seems to be blamed for everything these days.

    I noticed that too. Probably got water into a widgetty thing.

    They started it 2-3 minutes late. I suspect they removed it because they didn't want people thinking it was some sort of conspiracy that the last quarter was too short

    177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

    Because it didn't start until about 5 minutes into the last quarter.

    Have no idea why it happened, but after the Swans kicked the first goal of the last quarter I looked at the clock at the restart to see how much time had elapsed and the clock had just started??

    I then knew that the siren was going to go at about 25mins into the last quarter and as we made our charge, I was hoping that the runner would be out to let the guys know there was much less time to go than would show on the clock.

    I guess they decided, rightly so, to just take the clock off the screen rather than cop the flack that would have ensued when we had a 23-24 minute last quarter (according to the clock).

    I thought it was to get the NO KICK TO KICK message across loud and clear.
