Richmond had jumped from 42 points behind to secure a superb win over the Brisbane Lions at MCG. In Sunday’s other fixtures, the Gold Coast beat the West Coast by three points, while Essendon beat COVID-hit North Melbourne by eight goals. After conceding the first six goals for most of the game against the Lions, the Tigers took the lead in the 16th minute of the final quarter. The two sides traded punches for the final stages, with veteran Mitch Robinson missing a golden opportunity to put the Lions back in front after picking up a free kick from 15 yards. A fatal error from defender Darcy Gardiner allowed Tigers star Tom Lynch to score his fourth and last-minute winner. The Tigers ended a three-game winless run to win 15.14 (104) to 14.13 (97) in Shane Edwards’ 300th senior appearance. Importantly for Richmond, it provides a great opportunity for the ninth-placed Tigers to play in this year’s final with the last three games in favor of the season.

Amid claims that Ginnivan was targeted because of his low tackle technique, Collingwood president Jeff Browne said the club had sought clarification from the AFL. Load “I think the referee can go in your favor, and against you,” Browne told 3AW. “I know what you mean and it must have been on my mind. We need to clarify this with the referee, there is no question about that. “I don’t know if it was personal, but it was, obviously, a directive and in certain cases it was implemented incorrectly. We need to talk about that.” Ginnivan hasn’t dropped his body yet but still finds himself blocked by Redman. The club’s move came as a league crackdown emerged in the 19th round leading to a low season – outside of the byes – for a high free-kick. Ginnivan has been awarded the highest free-kick this season (17), two ahead of Geelong captain Joel Selwood.

Giving up the job mid-season after Michael Maguire was sacked, Kimmorley had overseen defeats to the Sea Eagles, Bulldogs, Warriors and Eels but with Adam Doueihi moving to his preferred five-eighth and Jackson Hastings to lock in there is reason to be optimistic on Sunday against a Penrith side who lost its original star.
