was it Jones?....I thought Wilkes was the culprit before he went to St Kilda in 2012...but will stand corrected

Definitely Brett Jones in his last game I think, did get reported but who cares in your last game. Was right in front of where we were sitting and a massive shirtfront, would have got 4 or 5 weeks these days as he was off his feet and made head contact. We were never in that GF after winning 9 of our last 10 games to make the finals and taking Joondy out in the prelim up on their own paddock was pretty sweet though.

We had already lost our lone ruckman Rix in the preliminary, so the Tigers knew by taking out our substitute ruckman in the opening minutes we couldn't cover it

When pre-meditated things like that happen in a GF by a retiring player you start to wonder about the relevance of send off rule.

Pre meditated? Fairly long bow that one. Wheeler gets a hospital handpass, jones goes hard at the ball as he always does, and wheeler is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Umpire called play on

No whinging from me ToOl...what happens in a GF stays in a GF.
