Exactly - the WAFC timekeeper/manager advised your timekeeper that they did not follow the instructions of the umpire, which is the reason why the arguments occurred.

Again, this is why we know there was 2 minutes and 19 seconds left in the match.

Did the Whitford time keeper then approach the Collegians time keeper and reset the clock then?

When this happens all you need to do is have the 2 time keepers stand together and get the same time.

You would have to ask them. I wasn't the timekeeper.

The question you should be asking is, why did the Collegians umpire ignore the obvious instruction from the field umpire (evidenced by them blowing their whistle and raising their arms)?

All I know is that the Whitford timekeeper followed the very simple instruction - for reasons unknown the Collegians timekeeper did not.

The umpires are academy umpires and raise their arm and blow time off and time on throughout the whole game even if the WAAFL plays no time on. They do this as they are practicing for the WAFL. What the umpires have always needed to do in amos is walk towards the home bench and tell them to stop the clock... did this happen. If so then it was a mistake by collegians time keeper. The umpires have to be very direct to ensure time off and time on is activated as it normally never happens.

So how the hell did your timekeeper let him ring the siren then?

So what you're saying is that the Collegians timekeeper didn't know the by-laws which relate to when a stretcher is called? Surely timekeepers can differentiate between when a stretcher is called (and on the field) and when it hasn't been called?
The Whitford timekeeper knew the by-law that relates to time on when a stretcher is called (and used their eyes and ears to acknowledge the field umpires).

You can't blame the umpires - they weren't 'practicising' as you stated - they knew the rules, the Whitford timekeeper knew the rules, and for some reason the Collegians timekeeper did not (or chose to ignore them - again, the reasons why are unclear).
