Docker fined for behind-the-play bump on Harley Reid
Voss started the angst before the ball had even been bounced, hassling and bumping the rising West Coast star on his way to his position for the start of the match.
It was a signal of intent from the burgeoning cult hero, who came into the game off the back of a career-high six goals at the MCG in the shock win over Collingwood.
The pair came together a number of times in the first quarter of the Dockers' 49-point win, but the AFL deemed Voss crossed the line in one incident.
Reid was jogging toward a stoppage as a ball-up was about to take place when he copped a bruising bump from Voss, with the forward making his presence felt on the blindsided Eagle.
The 20-year-old was left floored before gingerly rising to his feet to accept the free kick.
The match review officer handed down a $3750 fine after classifying the heavy bump as rough conduct and grading it intentional and low impact body contact.
Earlier in the season, Voss missed three games for a high hit, deemed a strike, that broke Tiger Nick Vlastuin's nose during Gather Round.

The spiteful western derby blow ended up being the least of Reid's issues as his game was ended prematurely by an ankle injury in the fourth term.
The young gun is set for scans with fears his season could be over with a syndesmosis injury.

The unassuming Docker who came of age during Sunday's fightback victory
Unheralded and unassuming, Karl Worner isn't one to catch the eye or demand attention. In a team full of stars, the 23 year-old doesn't kick the flashy goals, take the high-flying marks or break away from stoppage with blistering speed. Rather, he's tasked with shutting down dangerous forwards. Yesterday, in a game where Carlton threatened to put a dent in Fremantle's finals hopes, Worner shone under the spotlight. The Blues pressure was elite, especially in the opening half. Loading As wet and windy conditions presented, Worner showed he belonged. He was strong, reliable and never wilted – never giving his opponent an inch. In game 27, the Victorian laid a career-best nine tackles, four more than any other game previously. Worner's game is built on this, doing the small, no frills team things which have the potential to add up and make a big difference.

AFL: Logan Morris earns praise from Brisbane stalwart Dayne Zorko
Lions veteran Dayne Zorko has lavished praise on teammate Logan Morris after the young forward's six-goal haul against Collingwood. Morris, 20, was instrumental as Brisbane bounced back from a poor display in the previous week's QClash against the Gold Coast to beat the Magpies by 27 points at the MCG on Saturday night. '(Morris) reads the ball so well,' Zorko told SENQ Breakfast. 'For a 20-year-old, he's just so ahead of the game in that area. He's phenomenal. 'His ability to read the play is just incredible.' Morris has now kicked 40 goals this season, and his weekend performance was the third time he had booted five or more six-pointers in a game.

'He (Morris) got out the back a couple of times and got some good goals, but most importantly was his finishing in front of 82,000 fans. 'Collingwood supporters are a different beast. They're yelling and screaming.' Zorko said the win against the team that topped the table before the start of the round would give reigning premiers Brisbane 'a lot of confidence going forward'. 'To put in a performance like that and bounce back was great,' he said. 'Before the game I had a rough idea that it looked like we were on again.' The Lions, who host Sydney on Saturday in a rematch of last year's grand final, are in third place on the ladder, two points adrift of Adelaide and the Magpies.
