My great uncle was a time keeper for many many years with Essendon Districts. He died at 86 in the early 1980s. The district named an award after him. The Vincent Sharp cup
This might *sound* unbelievable, but I once met ol mate and he would just *go off* and *reverberate* some *blaring ring* the *set off* a *blasting toot* that would *resonate* like a *siren*. I hope you all enjoyed this little masterpiece.
What do you mean? 80% sounding all the same is 20% short of what it should be! Or that 80% are broken and sad? There’s a couple of grounds where they are a bit warbling, and I’ve been there when you couldn’t hear the siren at one end for a quarter.
I think everyone wants to push those big buttons and play that iconic siren.
I have
Same

Love seeing some of the aspects of AFL that don't get the appreciation they deserve
Please do a BTS of a television broadcast
Back when there wasn’t a clock
And you saw the 2 minutes left
And then after a gruelling 2 minutes
That siren meant everything
Wasn’t it a 5 minute warning as well 😂
500 games! Great job mate!
This is great, I'd love to see more BTS/umpiring videos like this!
Interesting stuff. Never knew how it all worked until today. AFL needs more behind the scenes videos like this
More of this sort of content please!!!!

The siren is one of my favourite parts of the game. 1:36
Are u a Carlton supporter?
(Kidding)
bombers. XD
Yeah it gives it a sense of drama most other sports don't have.
its the only umpiring job we don't hate and all want to do
I couldn't do it. Your concentration and focus would have to be top notch.
Even they get scrutinized some games aswell
Congratulations
Apart from me who is a community umpire and love my job
I've always wanted to see this
Great video AFL, would love to see some more behind the scenes stuff!
@afl can you do one of these on exactly how the time keeping works
Some people want to blow truck horns, some train horns and then there's us who want to blow the AFL siren.
Great video

Dam that looks like a fun job.
Time kepper for Norwood football club local team great job.
WHAT A LAD
Love the two massive big red buttons! Seems overkill in a good way
Nice vid. Ironically he’s always late to the meetings. 😂
thx for that it was really intersting
Thankes to kendy
Nice
Nice story, but if I didn't know any better, I'd swear this was a mockumentary.
GO POPPY!!!!
He looks like Leon Cameron
My mum had to timekeep my clubs very first win (I was also captain)
we just not gonna talk about the background music
On an unrelated note, AFL need to change up the sirens at some ground, 80% of them all sound the same now, pretty sad.
They don't need ro be changed
@@stealerknob3658 Ah yes, because it’s awesome having the MCG, SCG, GMHBA, Gabba and Optus Stadium with the same siren
@@westwalk9953 they dont have the same siren

True that. The days of each ground having its own unique siren are now unfortunately over
Imagine just clicking the button so your team could win
He’s clearly not been watching Austin and Ally to get to 500 games.
I wonder what the pay is
0. volunteer
@@johnh6198 good enough for me
@@johnh6198 no he would of got payed cause he got employed be the Eagles
4:31
Why do you time keepers press the button about 3 seconds after the clock reaches 0?
Maybe it's you that's three seconds off
@@planetX15 no
Most time keepers favour the home side
I wish I was a timekeeper but I’m still a kid dreams still can come true 😄
😂😂
I don't have time for this.
No need for the EDM music in the background..
More bts
STUPID GAME.
