Trent Barrett throwing an intercept. I'll be dammed!Random Sharks history link of the day...
Will Kennedy's dad (Balmain) playing Craig Fitzgibbon, and taking an intercept off Trent Barrett, with a try to Laloa Milford (16:25 in):
Also a try at 19:56.

Yes, they stopped it at 5 mins so people wouldn't run on to the field. Some used to do it with a few seconds to go potentially ruining the last plays of the match. So with it stopped at 5 mins, the crowd wouldn't know when the siren was going to sound, making it harder for them to invade the field before full time.I remember that old clock - especially when it use to stop with 5 mins to go in the match!
Well there you go. I also thought it was to add to the excitement of not knowing when the game would finish.Yes, they stopped it at 5 mins so people wouldn't run on to the field.

Ahh the good old days. You could buy as many as you can hold!VB $4.50... looks like it's around 2005-2008.
Haha yep. Kids would line up on the fence hoping to grab the corner post! Great times.I remember that old clock - especially when it use to stop with 5 mins to go in the match!
100% agree with this. As a kid we'd go out and recreate plays we'd just watched from the game. Such great memories.I forgot about the 5-minute stoppage!
Sharks should bring back running on the field "after the second siren".
I know there are probably extra costs with extra security and some security risks, but this used to be the best part of the game for kids (and some adults!).
Totally agree , but unfortunately it is not going to happen .I forgot about the 5-minute stoppage!

Pre Covid, didn't they used to make one game a year where they organised kids to come on the field? I remember the announcements over the PA.Totally agree , but unfortunately it is not going to happen .
Besides the risk aspects for the kids & the club the media also seems to take over on the field post game .
Our players don't even do an occasional lap of the field these days .
Still happens in AFL.Totally agree , but unfortunately it is not going to happen .

Yeah they could just choose a few games at least. 2pm Sunday games would be perfect, though we didn't get any of those this year. 4pm Sundays would be fine too.Pre Covid, didn't they used to make one game a year where they organised kids to come on the field?
