Allegation is last night Eddie McGuire said:
McGuire claims he said something else:
I think he said blake boy.
Fuck me, whose idea was it to not have Ed throw down to Kelli and Derm to speak to “Dan or Daniel Rioli”? Would save everyone the hassle.

Hawk Jack Gunston and Giants co-captain Phil Davis will bring the finals power and look to take home the ugliest trophy in world sport (and the second biggest prize of the season).
After quitting footy with his eyes set on punting in the USA, ex-Tiger Ben Griffiths joins Cam Rayner, Mitch Duncan, Zach Merrett and Jack Silvagni.
AFLW represents with two of the league’s biggest names in Sabrina Frederick-Traub and Katie Brennan.

According to today’s Herald Sun, Fox Footy was booted out of Crown Palladium by Seven for last night’s Brownlow Medal count. In the past Fox Footy recorded AFL 360 at the back of the ballroom before the count, but with Seven holding the exclusive rights to the Brownlow since last year, Fox had to resort to a pre-record of AFL 360 at nearby Southbank studios.
AFL 360 was done from the studio last year as well for that reason
