'He spat the dummy': Patrick Dangerfield's unseen blow-up at AFLX

Patrick Dangerfield reportedly ‘threw every toy out of the cot’ after a controversial call went against his side in AFLX on Friday night.

Dangerfield was less than impressed by a free kick awarded to Marcus Bontempelli that allowed the Bulldogs star to kick the winning goal in the dying seconds of the final qualifying game before the grand final.

It meant Dangerfield’s side missed out on the grand final, and the Geelong star was fuming.

Channel 7’s commentators said Dangerfield and Luke Hodge both blew up after the siren, although it wasn’t shown on TV.

“It’s our understanding that the other mob, the Bolts, are not particularly impressed,” James Brayshaw said in commentary.

“They threw every toy out of the cot.”

Crows skipper Taylor Walker, also commentating, said: “He certainly spat the dummy, Danger.”

Dangerfield later joked that his team would be protesting the result.

“We’re going to put in a protest similar to what happened in the NFL playoffs this year,” Dangerfield said.

“We’re not happy as Bolts. There will be an official protest.”

Rampage down Flyers in AFLX grand final

It might have been a bit of kick and giggle, but Jack Riewoldt was genuinely delighted to propel his Rampage team to an AFLX grand final win over Nat Fyfe’s Flyers.

With less than 30 seconds left in Friday night’s decider at Marvel Stadium, Riewoldt converted a set shot for a 20-point super goal from a tight angle to give his side an 84-67 win.

“It was good fun … I loved it,” Riewoldt said.

“The game was the final to what has been a fantastic last two days.

“It’s not very often that you get 50 of the best AFL players together without their (own) colours on, to put themselves in a vulnerable position to try something new.

“I think everyone absolutely loved it.”

Fyfe had given his team the lead with his own super goal just minutes earlier, only to be denied by Riewoldt.

After a scratchy start in the earlier matches, the grand final was a fitting end to a night of popcorn football fun.

The much-hyped but oft-criticised concept attracted an official crowd figure of 23,828 although the top deck of the stadium was closed and there were plenty of seats available on the bottom two.
