As i said earlier Riewoldt heard the siren also he bent forward and screamed a short word im guessing it begun with either S or F.
Then put his hands on head saw the freo players yelling at umpire and walked over to see what was happening.
Definatly the right decision, every single player in AFL stops playing as soon as the siren goes,they never wait for the whistle as the game stops when siren goes not when umpire signals it.
Heaps of times the siren has gone with ball in mid flight player marks it and then the umpire blows whistle and raises arms, then says sorry mate siren went before you marked it.
