1967 | 92–91 or No result |
No kick | North Hobart trailed 91–92, and Collins had a shot after the siren from 20m out, when home-team Wynyard fans stormed onto the field. Police tried for more than ten minutes to clear a pathway for Collins to take his kick, but by this time the Wynyard fans had taken down the goalposts, making a set shot impossible. Collins never got to take his kick, the match was declared a no result and the 1967 state premiership was withheld.

2006 | 94–94 or 94–93 |
Behind | In a passage of play that occurred after the siren sounded inaudibly, Baker scored a behind to tie the game, and received an illegal bump. He elected to cancel the behind and take a set-shot, which (with the umpires having now heard the siren) was a true after-the-siren kick. He scored another behind, drawing the scores level 94–94. However, four days later, Fremantle successfully challenged to have the result of the game amended to 94–93, reflecting the scoreline when the siren originally sounded. This decision cancelled Baker's kick.
