Like father, like son! McGovern's cheeky new charity venture
The former Eagle's son stole some of the limelight of McGovern's lap of honour alongside fellow retiree Dom Sheed on Sunday, 'flipping the bird' to the crowd as he followed in his father's wake.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the moment during a replay of the celebrations, sending the cheeky act viral.
Even rising West Coast star Harley Reid, who was fined for the same action in round two against Brisbane, saw the funny side, liking the original post.
'Respect 🫡', Reid commented.
Many fans joked the moment could call for a punishment from the AFL with former Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui posting the video to his Instagram story with the caption, 'Send him straight to the tribunal haha'.

Now, apparel brand Street X are offering fans their chance to revel in the moment with an exclusive line of T-Shirts, with all proceeds to go to charity.
The design features a blue and gold print of Hudson giving the finger on a black background called the 'Give 'em the bird tee'. Jeremy McGovern and son Hudson pose for an exclusive Street X T-Shirt photo shoot. Unknown Credit: Unknown / Instagram
They even had the McGovern's pose in the tees with a series of photos of them both wearing the shirt.
The shirt is set to go on sale at 5pm on Thursday night for a limited time.

Bulldogs dare to dream with season on a knife's edge
The Western Bulldogs have the right brand of football to go all the way this AFL finals series - they just have to get there first. That's the view of 2016 premiership Bulldog Jason Johannisen, as the club's season hangs on a knife's edge. The Bulldogs (52 points) sit ninth with two games to go against West Coast then Fremantle, four points shy of Gold Coast, Hawthorn and GWS. Realistically, Luke Beveridge's charges need to win both games and have either the Suns, who have a game in hand, Hawks or Giants to slip up, in order to make the top eight. But if they can pull that off, Johannisen believes the sky is the limit. "We play the right brand of footy to win it all," he told AAP. "The challenge is just putting it together and putting in a four-quarter effort, because that's what it takes. "And we need an even contribution from everyone. We can't just rely on too few, although some of our stars are playing some really influential football. "Our best footy can match it with anyone. It's just the challenge is doing it over a four-quarter period. "We're up for that challenge, and we're excited for it." The Bulldogs' forwards are "feeding off" the energy of key forward Aaron Naughton (55 goals), who is third in the Coleman Medal. But emerging midfield star Ed Richards saved the day in last week's thrilling win over Melbourne and looms as a pivotal figure, alongside skipper Marcus Bontempelli, in the Dogs' finals hunt. "He's become a bona fide superstar of the competition," Johannisen said. "What makes him so impactful is his use going forward is just top notch. He doesn't miss many targets, and in front of goals, he usually kicks them. "He's had a terrific season." With their season on a knife's edge, the Bulldogs know they cannot afford any slip-ups against the cellar-dwelling Eagles at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. "They've got nothing to lose, so they're going to play with some freedom and some flair," he said. "We've got to combat that. We just know that if we dig into our style, that it will overcome anything." Johannisen, who won the 2016 Norm Smith Medal, was limited to just 28 games between 2022 and 2024 though a series of injuries. But the 32-year-old has managed 14 this year including the past seven on the bounce, which has helped vanquish thoughts his time could well be up. "It does cross your mind," he said. "But at the end of the day, this group is what gets you going in rehab and just wanting to get back and play with your teammates. "That's been my main drive - and that will always be there."

Dockers fans hammer bitter loss to Brisbane
Hear what the fans had to say after Fremantle's 57-point loss to Brisbane on Friday night. A night's sleep has done little to temper the disappointment and frustration of Fremantle fans after their Friday night flop against reigning premiers Brisbane. With the top four and a double chance in sight, the Dockers had one of their biggest chances in recent history to build a strong platform for a deep September run. However, even without dual Brownlow medallist Lachie Neale, the Lions showed they were a class above in front of more than 50,000 Fremantle fans at Optus Stadium, running over a wayward Dockers by 57 points. It means the Dockers could be left with a one-game shootout to even make the finals against the Western Bulldogs next weekend, unless last-placed West Coast produce a miracle victory over the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. The purple army didn't hold back in the wake of the loss to the Lions, with emotions pouring out after Fremantle kicked eight behinds to start the game. Hear what the fans had to say after Fremantle's 57-point loss to Brisbane on Friday night. Responding to The West Australian's back page describing the Dockers' performance as 'Stage Fright', Chris Della labelled the headline more accurate than the team. 'The heading is accurate, the opposite to their goal kicking!!! Fragile under pressure,' he wrote. David Clancy added: 'Not sure about Flagmantle, how about dismantled?' Some fans even took aim at coach Justin Longmuir and his game plan, saying he should be sacked if they miss finals again. 'New coach with intensity and firm words is required. Auskick players move the ball quicker than Freo! No manning up, no sharking off the talls, no imagination,' Mark Killmeir wrote. Some purple army members were more drastic in their takes on Fremantle's X posts. 'Losing two first picks for Bolton = worst ever,' Danco Jovanoski wrote. Geoff Brian added: 'I have never been more disappointed in a Fremantle performance,' while Callum Hinton labelled the Dockers a 'bunch of pretenders' and said he was hoping for an Eagles upset. The back page of The West Australian.

The word 'fraud' was also bandied around. Many fans were disappointed for club champion Nat Fyfe, who could have played his final home match after announcing he would retire at the end of the season. 'If you can't do it for Fyfe or for yourselves or your fans, what are y'all even doing?,' an account under the name churro said. Tans Taafl added: 'Very disappointing. You couldn't even get up for Nat. You didn't even need to win, just turn up. I'll always be a Docker, but I hate that I am so invested in this club. I'll keep on believing, but this performance speaks volumes. I'm really disappointed tbh, not even angry.'
