10 things we learned: Danger's elusive premiership, Selwood's touching tribute (AFL)

One of the game's most decorated players of his era, you can now add 'premiership player' alongside Patrick Dangerfield's name. In his 15th season and 303rd game, the bulldozing midfielder would not be denied. Already with the eight All-Australian ...

Tuohy has been a mainstay since moving from Carlton at the end of 2016, and his 250th game is now one he'll always remember after racking up 21 disposals and winning a premiership. Although Cameron slotted two goals in the final quarter with the sting well and truly out of the game, his impact was relatively minimal. He capped the performance with a final-quarter goal that brought a tear to his eye and his mother's who was watching in the grandstand. He really got the fans rocking with a rendition of John Farnham's 'The Voice', paid tribute to cricket legend Shane Warne before belting out 'Angels', and capped his masterpiece with an energetic version of 'Kids' with Deltra Goodrem, who matched Williams with her own pink outfit. When Robbie Fox stood alongside the 196cm Cameron it was a mild surprise. The way he embraced change in the past 12 months, finding lesser roles for his stars and more prominent roles for Sam De Koning, Tom Atkins, Brad Close and other youngsters, should not be undervalued. At his third club after being let go by both Adelaide and Richmond, Tyson Stengle completed a remarkable redemption story with a remarkable performance on the biggest stage. After a quiet opening quarter, Stengle sprung to life in the second, clutching passes from Jed Bews and Tom Atkins and going back both times from 50m and kicking truly. The British rock great, decked out in a bright pink suit, wowed the 100,024 spectators with a 20-minute set that started with his classics 'Let Me Entertain You' and "Rock DJ'. No matter what Sydney says there was always a degree of risk playing Sam Reid after he was subbed out of the Swans' preliminary final win over Collingwood with an adductor strain. Not only did the 34-year-old surpass Michael Tuck as the game's most prolific finals player with his 40th appearance, but he was a major part of winning a fourth premiership. One of the game's most decorated players of his era, you can now add 'premiership player' alongside Patrick Dangerfield's name.
