Richmond's medical team is facing scrutiny after Judson Clarke, who suffered a serious knee injury, was sent back onto the field during a VFL game. Clarke will miss the rest of the season after scans confirmed a ruptured graft in his right ACL, the same ACL he injured in 2019. Fans are questioning the decision to allow Clarke to return to the field.

Questions are being asked of Richmond ’s medical team after young gun Judson Clarke was sent back onto the field during a VFL game despite suffering a serious knee injury. Clarke will miss the remainder of the season after scans confirmed he ruptured the graft in his right ACL during Sunday’s clash against Werribee.

Judson Clarke limps off after kicking a goal. It was the same ACL the 20-year-old injured in 2019. Clarke hobbled off early on during the loss to Werribee, but had his knee strapped and returned to the field. He then managed to kick a long goal during the third term before limping off in significant pain. Fans couldn’t believe Clarke was allowed back onto the field. “Club needs to release a statement about the standard of care provided to Judson Clarke,” one fan said.

Richmond Tigers under pressure against Port AdelaideThe Tigers are looking good when they move it fast - they had Port Adelaide under big pressure inside 50, but Aliir Aliir got the ball clear after about five false starts there. They keep the pressure up, though and force a throw-in in the right forward pocket. It ends up bouncing for Dustin Martin, who spears a pass inbound to Daniel Rioli, who marks in front. Richmond is playing better, they've dragged the inside 50 deficit back to 20-23. The Tigers are leading the clearances 12-10, and edging contested possessions 49-45.
