So controversial at the time. With the Final 6 and 3 finals in Week 1, the AFL either had to play multiple day finals simultaneously in Melbourne, (something the league stopped doing in 1984), play day final outside Victoria (the option they went with in 1991 and 1992 with West Coast hosting at Subiaco), or a night final… in 1993 it was the only option.
Why did the clock keep ticking after the goal?
First final played under lights.

Stop. The umpires favoured Carlton. Heaver got a soft free kick in front of goal in the third quarter. And you know it.
