He will appear in court on Tuesday night to face charges of dangerous behavior for a tackle in the 73rd minute Lock Tigers hobbled and was on crutches on the sidelines after the game with fears he had a syndesmosis injury and will not play again this year. Interim coach Brett Kimmorley was outraged by the incident. “I thought it was a normal tackle,” said Kimmorley. “It’s something that creeps into the game a bit and needs attention because it’s a horrendous tackle and the result can be really bad.” Broncos coach Kevin Walters denied Carrigan’s tackle was intentional and was one of those things that happened “in the

“The fact is Toby gives free-kicks and sometimes opponents don’t,” Hardwick told reporters on Wednesday. “The same thing happens from time to time. “We saw players walking across the line every time during the round and there were 50 of them playing, and Toby was pinged for three of them. “We spoke to the refereeing department about that, and hopefully, we got a better result this week. “In the end, they— [the AFL] accept mistakes made, as we do as coaches too. Load “Toby was penalized for a report and a drawn 50 yards penalty … you know, he was treated harshly.” Nankervis faces a major battle against rising Fremantle force Sean Darcy at Marvel Stadium on Friday night in a contest that will help shape both sides’ final prospects. Richmond have lost three of their last four games, with poor goal kicks costing them over the last two weeks in defeats to the Gold Coast and North Melbourne by a combined margin of just six points. “We’re always in a fight,” said Hardwick. “We are not going

Tom Atkins’ game last week was very good in possession. He had a run-with role with Sam Walsh on Saturday night and while Walsh is one of the Blues’ best players, Atkins’ pressure around the contest is still significant. Geelong has had an impact on this cast of Atkins, Brad Close, Max Holmes, Mark O’Connor and even Gryan Miers, all of whom have pace and are used to the high-pressure games Geelong plays.

Jeremy Cameron benefits and helps make it happen. Football analysts will always look at these seemingly immeasurable elements of pressure in football and conclude that they are an essential ingredient in any major league. Geelong, now at
