‘Old timers’: Legend’s whack back at AFL stars after cheeky dig
Hawthorn champion Jason Dunstall has taken a dig back at a pair of Brownlow Medallists after they were part of a conversation that took a cheeky jab at him during the week.
It all started with Carlton captain Patrick Cripps kicking the winning goal for his team against Geelong last Friday night, after taking a big mark 25m out directly in front of goal.

Instead of kicking a drop punt, Cripps snapped the ball around the corner to put the Blues in front.
A few days later, he explained his reasoning for not going for a traditional set shot with the game on the line.

Why it’s more important than ever to win the centre square clearance
Australian rules starts with a clash unlike any other sport. The centre ball-up is a four-on-four cage fight for possession, space and territory.
Inside a 50 x 50-metre square momentarily separating other combatants from the action, eight players rely on strength, positioning, pace, skill, will and luck to win the ball and send it their team’s way.
One battle occurs in the air when opposing rucks leap into each other. The other takes place at ground level as players scrap to control space and win the ball using a mixture of art, science and skill to prevail.
With four hitting zones, not every part of “the pie” can be covered. Risk assessments are made and gambles taken in both planning and real time. It’s team v team, four v four, and one v one played out in a matter of seconds. There is nowhere for the combatants to hide.
