On 26 April, Preston 22.5 (137) defeated Williamstown 20.14 (134) after Preston's Anthony Cardamone – who had been brought into the team as an emergency and had spent the first half of the game on the bench – kicked a goal from 25m after the final siren.The Age Melbourne 25 Darrin Farrant 27 April 1992 Bullants rejoice at replacements last-gasp winner On 30 May, Sandringham 26.17 (173) defeated a remarkably accurate Preston 17.1 (103). Mark Sedgwick scored Preston's sole behind with a dribbled kick at the goals with ten seconds remaining in the final quarter.The Sunday Age (Sport Liftout) Melbourne 19 Ross Booth 31 May 1992 Five in row for Zebras 1 In the qualifying final between Williamstown and Prahran, Williamstown recovered from a 31-point deficit in the final quarter to tie the scores at 16.10 (106) at the end of regulation time, resulting in ten minutes of extra time (in two five-minute halves) being played to decide the game. It was the first time extra time had been used in a VFA finals match, and many present, including Prahran coach Brian Taylor, were unaware that the provision to play extra time had recently been introduced to avoid the need to replay entire finals matches. Overuse and inclement weather during the finals turned North Port Oval into a mudheap. The Association moved as many minor grade finals away from the ground as it could (playing many at Chirnside Park) and unsuccessfully attempted to shift the senior preliminary final to an AFL ground.The Age Melbourne 26 David Saunders 10 September 1992 VFA fails to shift preliminary final References Category:Victorian Football League seasons VFL
