If I recall, Oliver, mostly because he was nervous, while waiting for Gawn to kick the goal after the siren to win the minor premiership was talking to Dangerfiekd about his recent ankle injury from memory.

AFL hasn't crossed this bridge yet, but I can see this as suspendable offence in the future. Really puts the game in disrepute and isn't part of the amicable contest. If we are suspending players for bumps that don't injure players but have the potential to injure a player then striking players in this circumstance should be treated the same way. Oliver has been targeted this way several times this season similar to this and IMO a fine isn't a sufficient deterrent to stop this thuggery.

GWS going to be hard to stop this year.

Had the pleasure to go to the game, a once in a blue moon for me. Gee, it was frustrating to watch the first half, real arm wrestle, I guess with Yze and McQualter swapping camps it was bound to be harder to take down each other and was riddled with many mistakes. We gave their 3 first half goals by bad turnovers in the middle of ground and returned to bombing it in long in our 50. 2nd half lowered the eyes a bit more and cleared the 50 and went down the middle a bit more. What a move having Disco forward! He had a good mixture of moving into right space, leading and beating his opponent and was smart with disposal, kicked crucial goals and setting up a Fritsch goal - I thought he was deserving of the Frank Checker Hughes medal. Good to see maligned Laurie get on the end of a few goals. So happy for Turner and Laurie! Defense was incredible, so many marks between Lever, May, Howes, Rivers, McDonald. Kozzy and Nibs chased and corralled all night, Windsor and Lingers ran hard all game. Love the bloke, but Petty looks way off, might need a spell to get some confidence and form for Casey. Gritty and grinding win. Keep banking the points and keep working away to build continuity and momentum. Go Dees!

6. Turner. 5. Lever. 4. May. 3. Rivers. 2. Gawn. 1. Howes.

We have a 1-player-only-peroxide-blonde-hair-policy, so he doesn't make the cut.

Where can you watch these finals? Thanks in advance.

Stranger things have happened. After all, Ryan Griffen left as Dogs captain to join GWS.

Bont's book has a boy with Demon colours. Omen? A certainty to be at the Dees 🤪

Silver lining to Kozzy's suspension, very excited for this young man's debut! Good luck, Kolt. Dees should play Living Colour's - Kolt (Cult) of Personality running onto the MCG for him! 😉

"Umm..." who cares? 🤷‍♂️

Some of the better and educated comments about an opposition. Respect.

That is so cute! Parents should be proud! Very passionate 4 year old!

And all this time we thought dodos were extinct. One still roams the habitat of Windy Hill.

Thought I heard from a reporter during the game likely to stay than go, but think he was offering his opinion more than reporting it as a source. Petty was niggling lots with Crows players, didn't look like he would want to play for them the way he going 😂

One of the best games TMac has played in a while. Seems like he's settling back into defence and doing his role well.

6. Trac. 5. McVee. 4. Chin. 3. Gawn. 2. Spaz. 1. Koz. Honourable mention TMac, Petty and May.

That's pretty generous of you, I'll keep mine, thanks.

Look out Pies, Blues, we are kings of close game 😁😉

Umpires are murdering us.

Rubbish umpires. How is that not push in back to Riv!?

Judd, Chin, Koz and Trac were huge in that quarter.
