FOUND! Long-forgotten alternate camera angles of 1987 Preliminary Final ending show Buckenara tripped over his own feet in the dying seconds (he was awarded a free kick), and Jim Stynes' reaction to Buckenara's goal.

fyi - I've looked for the behind-the-goal vision of Stynes running across the mark but that doesnt appear to exist. Even the ABC host at the time says that havent found footage of that indescretion. At least this side on camera shot, which was further around than the TV broadcast allows us to see Stynes immediate reaction to the goal. (Ch7 and ABC footage cuts away instantly the ball goes through the goals). The behind the goals shot is intriguing because it doesnt seem to have re-screened anytime after this despite being a clearer angle of the Grinter/Buckenara free kick. The Ch7 and ABC broadcast footage doesn't really capture it as the camera was still panning
