Time On is your daily wrap-up of all the footy gossip and banter.

Patrick Dangerfield was celebrating another flag on Sunday.

But it wasn’t his this time as the Geelong captain cheered on wife and power mum Mardi to a premiership with the WAMMOS — the Geelong Amateurs Football Womens Team — along with their three children George, Felicity and Winnifred.

“When mum wins a flag and hooks you on footy for life,’’ Dangerfield captioned a video of mum accepting her medal with daughter Felicity.

He also posted joyful pictures of the family during post-game celebrations.

The couple welcomed their daughter in October last year after the Cats won the flag.

Mardi paid tribute to her dad on her social media: “The best dad a girl could ask for! So happy to be doing this with you!!”

She previously spoke to the Herald Sun about her love for the game.

“Local footy is the best,’’ she said.

“Just a good community and family vibe and all the good stuff about sport.

“It’s still super competitive but everyone has a different reason I suppose for being there and different priorities. But to be there together and playing for the love of the game is pretty special.”

Cash is king, according to Dermo

Dermott Brereton was in a glowing mood on the weekend after his faith in humanity was restored.

The Hawks legend explained that he had left his wallet on a petrol bowser and it was returned with contents intact.

“Numbnuts here left his wallet on the top of a petrol browser, it got handed in,’’ he said on SEN Crunchtime.

“And that stuff inside it that the governments don’t like you using — cash — was all there. It was all there, not that there was that much. How good of the public to be so honest. Admittedly it was at Costco, if I did that in Frankston people would laugh at me.

“That’s a win. I’m in a glowing mood. My faith in humanity has been restored.”

Colleague Luke Hodge was bemused that he still carried cash.

Is TJ a marketing genius?

Tony Jones says he’ll allow a compilation of his food munching moments on the Grand Final Footy Show if it raises $10,000 for My Room.

Jones, who has been secretly filmed eating KFC, expressed his frustration at the ribbing last week.

But he will allow the humour to carry on for a good cause — the final show doubles as a Telethon for the My Room children’s cancer charity.

Robertson faces music over Cornes lashing

Kane Cornes and Russell Robertson have shaken hands in peace after the former high-flying Demon lashed the commentator during the week.

Robertson was unhappy with Cornes’ criticism of Dees coach Simon Goodwin for what he regarded as disrespectful comments aimed at Hawks tagger Finn Maginness.

The pair were brought together on The Sunday Footy Show for the handball and Cornes, who was bemused by the spray, came out on top.

Robertson, a good sport for facing the music, admitted his withering Facebook post was a bit of carry on.

Matthews adds another trophy to his collection

Almost a year after the league’s biggest media awards night, footy legend Leigh Matthews has finally received his trophy from chairman Damien Barrett.

After rolling around in the back of Damo’s muscle car, the trophy was rightfully handed to Lethal following last September’s AFMA event, much to the delight of the Triple M Friday Huddle crew.

Luke Darcy was a key witness to Friday’s unorthodox awards presentation, explaining how the Hawks and Lions champion was less than impressed.

“He (Barrett) walked in and presented Leigh Matthews with a plastic Premiership cup,” Darce said.

“I’ve never seen anyone more dismissive in my life than Lethal.

“I guarantee you that (award) doesn’t leave the 3AW box.”

Damo admitted he’d never got around to handing the trophy over as it sat in the boot of his high-powered vehicle.

“We felt that rather than to send it in the mail, I would give it to him, but I think I was given it in about round two or three,” Damo said.

“I took until round 24 to do so, and it was well received.”

It remains unclear whether the trophy still occupies the 3AW box at the MCG or if Lethal took the prized possession home.
