‘Can’t remember,’ the notoriously private AFL superstar admitted as fans erupted into laughter.

As the Tigers’ celebrations continued into their second day, it was a different story for the GWS Giants.

Giants players looked miserable as they fled Melbourne following their humiliating 114-25 defeat on the sport’s biggest stage on Saturday in their first AFL grand final.

Among the faces of dejection were Giants star Toby Greene, whose father Michael was arrested after he allegedly assaulted a female police officer while being escorted out of the MCG during the game for being too intoxicated.

‘I might go down there today.’
