Till the fat lady sings

Port Adelaide fans were seen heading for the exits at Adelaide Oval with their side down 10 points with two minutes remaining. Fans leaving games early is a bad look, no matter the state of the scoreboard.

It reminded you of that iconic NBA moment in 2004 when Rockets fans prematurely left the Toyota Center with their team trailing San Antonio late in the game. Tracy McGrady became a basketball god, scoring 13 points in 33 seconds to secure a famous comeback victory.

Just like the Rockets, the Power stunned their own fans after winning on the final siren thanks to a methodical play where Paddy Ryder tapped the ball over his head to set up Robbie Gray’s booming goal from 50 meters out.

THE UGLY

Dusty’s brownlow?

Brownlow medal favourite Patrick Dangerfield faces a one-week suspension after violently slinging Matthew Kreuzer to the ground in a tackle. Kreuzer left the game facing a possible concussion.

Dangerfield's tackle was graded as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. Should Geelong accept the ban, Dangerfield will be disqualified to win this year’s Brownlow.

The AFL made a strong stance of removing sling tackles from the game in the past few years and many players before Dangerfield have been suspended for similar incidents. The Cats have until 11am Tuesday to notify the AFL if they wish to challenge the ruling at the tribunal.
