1. Dawson's elbow may cause more than one headache
Zac Dawson faces a nervous wait to see if he will play his second game of the year next week after he struck Giants forward Jeremy Cameron with a stray elbow. The two were tangled on the ground and Dawson threw his right elbow back, collecting Cameron on the nose. Cameron came from the ground immediately with blood gushing from his nose before returning heavily bandaged, and needed to be re-bandaged several times during the match. The Match Review Panel will certainly have a close look at the incident. Dawson was playing his first game of the season after groin issues and a broken thumb had held him out all year.

2. Does the deliberate rushed behind rule still exist?
Lee Spurr ran the ball through the Giants’ goals in the first quarter in what seemed a clear violation of the deliberate rushed behind rule. The ball was stationary on the ground in the goal square and there were no Giants players around him, just two Docker teammates nearby. Spurr elected not to pick up the ball, instead casually kicking it off the ground and through the goals for a rushed behind. The umpire either deemed there was pressure on Spurr or the rule has been forgotten or ignored.

3. Leon Cameron left seething by the umpiring
It is rare for a senior coach to leave the coach's box during a quarter to speak to the fourth umpire on the bench but Leon Cameron did it twice during the match. The Giants coach was furious with some of the decision-making by the officials as the Dockers got three scores from three blatant errors. There were also some very hot holding-the-ball decisions that went against GWS throughout the afternoon, while Jeremy Cameron got mauled up forward on three separate occasions and failed to win a free kick. Umpires boss Wayne Campbell should expect a call from the Giants on Monday morning.  

4. Heath Shaw's catastrophic slip
Michael Walters' second goal was hardly seen by anyone in the stadium. The events in the lead-up to it had all eyes on Heath Shaw. The ball was passed back to Shaw in the defensive 50, but the veteran's foot slipped on the turf and he crumpled to the ground writhing in pain. Walters swooped on the loose ball and waltzed into an open goal to kick the Dockers' fifth of match. But everyone ran to Shaw in fear he may have suffered a serious injury. After moments of concern he gingerly got to his feet and did not even leave the field.

5. More goal celebrations for Adam Goodes
Indigenous players across the country have shown their support for the Sydney Swans champion this weekend, and Dockers duo Michael Walters and Danyle Pearce displayed their pride with unique goal celebrations. Walters kicked the second goal of the game and delivered a dance similar to the one Lewis Jetta performed at the SCG on Saturday night. Pearce delivered the same dance when he kicked a goal to show his support for Adam Goodes.
