Dovison wins the Dockerty | Heidelberg humble WSW | R25 Predictions

Half-time substitute Campbell Dovison was the unlikely hero for South Melbourne as they successfully defended the Dockerty Cup trophy in a thrilling and controversial win over Heidelberg.

Josh, Lachie and Ivka discuss the decisions that went against the Bergers, and how South's bravery under Sinisa Cohadzic resulted in a cup final classic.

Plus, there's plenty of Australia Cup action to break down, including Johnny A's masterclass against A-League opposition, Avondale maintaining Victorian supremacy against NSW, Nunawading taking Wellington to the wire and South's run ironically ending in a barrage of long throws.

And to finish, we look ahead to Round 25 and the permutations for the rest of the season.
