COLLINGWOOD’S AFLW season is all but over after the Western Bulldogs prevailed by eight points in a fiery clash in the Victorian town of Moe.

“I can’t really say much. The incident’s happened, the MRP will look at it and deal with it,” he said.

“The positive for her is the player came back on, so that’s a great result.”

Match review officer Michael Christian is also likely to scrutinise a fierce exchange between the Bulldogs’ Emma Kearney and Collingwood’s Brittany Bonnici.

Bonnici, who shadowed Kearney throughout the match, sent the star midfielder crashing into a TV crew’s plastic chairs with a rough tackle in the second quarter.
