Yes, on Sunday 18 June 2017 Tom McDonald had a shot after the siren from 45 metres. He nailed the goal and hit the target.

Some inventive captioning on the net this morning

TAYLOR Walker's season could be over, with the Adelaide captain offered a two-match ban for his sling tackle that knocked out Greater Western Sydney star Josh Kelly.

Walker was adjudged to have slung Kelly into the ground with excessive force, with the tackle graded by Michael Christian as careless conduct with high impact to the head.

That triggered a two-game suspension, which is set to rule Walker out of Adelaide's final two home and away matches against North Melbourne and Carlton.

Elsewhere, North Melbourne forward Jarrad Waite was offered a fine for his high bump on Jackson Trengove – one of seven players to be fined across the weekend.

Waite caught Trengove high and late, though was only fined $3000 after the incident was judged by Christian as careless conduct with low impact to the head.

Trent Dumont was fined $2000 for rough conduct on Ed Richards in the same game, while Dale Morris was also offered a $2000 fine for tripping Jy Simpkin.

Sydney midfielder Dan Hannebery was fined $1500 for striking James Harmes in Sunday's later game, with Clayton Oliver fined $1000 for making careless contact with an umpire.

In the only other incident cited in the weekend's remaining games, Port Adelaide's Aidyn Johnson was fined $2000 for rough conduct on Tom Cole.

Meanwhile, Geelong champion Gary Ablett, who was accused of diving by some commentators, has avoided a fine.

Collingwood midfielder Levi Greenwood was cleared of any wrongdoing for making contact with an injured player for an incident involving Dayne Zorko.

St Kilda defender Nathan Brown had already been sent directly to the AFL Tribunal for his late bump that concussed Adam Saad on Friday night, while Essendon defender Cale Hooker had already accepted a $1500 fine for misconduct on Daniel McKenzie.

Brown's Tribunal hearing will take place on Tuesday night

I think he went missing when they had the collective minds camp, they're still looking for his.

How does Tex get 2 games and Waite gets off?
Tex should of got off and Waite should get one for being a DH.

Softest thing I’ve ever seen at AFL level

He’s the worst player on the ground if not the comp!

I saw this on tv tonight for the first time, wow. That is an absolute disgrace, the ball is rolling at his feet and he's to busy faking he copped one in the ribs. All that after jumping clear of any potential body contact.

If North pick him again i would be surprised, surely B.Scott would have lit him up after the game.

Yep that cost them a goal and 30sec later the very next play over run the ball when he heard footsteps and cost another goal.

I thought he was a joke at Collingwood he is now even worse.....

Just had another attempt at the ladder predictor and there's a lot that hinges on 3 games in the last round.

Port vs Essendon
Sydney vs Hawthorn
Melbourne vs GWS

Round 22 has the following clashes that will define the 8:

Collingwood vs Port
GWS vs Sydney
Adelaide vs North Melbourne

At a glance the other games seem straight forward.

The ladder with my selections looks like the following:

Richmond
WCE
GWS
Collingwood
Hawthorn
Sydney
Geelong
Port
Melbourne
North Melb.
Adelaide

If Melbourne can beat WCE or GWS it's goodnight Port, unless they can somehow defeat Collingwood this week or Hawthorn knock off Sydney in the last.

Melbourne won't beat the Eagles in Perth and we won't beat Collingwood in Melbourne.

The last round decides it, Port must beat Essendon or Melbourne beat GWS.

If we score more than them we will.

If Melb & Syd lose their final 2 games (which there’s a fair chance) then Port will only have to win 1 game. If my mob happened to win both, they’d sneak in too

Yep, your defining moment comes this Sunday evening, anything can happen and usually does.

Hawthorn are a good chance of beating Sydney.

Absolutely, it is in Sydney.
