Head knock KO's Tigers star for Dreamtime clash
Tom Lynch has been sidelined due to concussion in a major blow for Richmond ahead of their AFL Dreamtime At The 'G clash with Essendon. The key forward showed symptoms after a heavy knock late in Sunday's loss to North Melbourne. The Tigers announced on Monday afternoon he would not play in Friday night's showcase Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous round match against the Bombers. "While he was initially feeling and looking OK and able to be cleared by our medical staff, in the hours after the game he began to develop symptoms," Richmond football boss Tim Livingstone said. "As a result of this, our doctor has placed Tom in the concussion protocols, and he will now be monitored closely through the coming days and required period of time." Also on Monday, Port Adelaide confirmed Jason Horne-Francis and Lachie Jones were out of action with hamstring injuries. Jones could be sidelined for two months. They were among five players forced out of Sunday's loss to Geelong, with Cats captain Patrick Dangerfield also damaging a hamstring in the injury chaos. Dangerfield is in severe doubt for Thursday night's massive home game against the Western Bulldogs, while teammate Jack Bowes also is nursing a hamstring injury from the match. The Power said Horne-Francis could return after their round-12 bye. Port halfback Josh Sinn also hurt his left hip at Adelaide Oval and is in doubt for Saturday's game against Fremantle in Perth.

Eagles break drought; Walyalup undefeated during Indigenous round
Baker crossed from Richmond in the off-season after winning premierships at the Tigers but has never questioned the move despite losing the first nine games. 'I haven't had any regrets coming back here… I've felt the last four or five weeks we've had a real shift in the way we are training and the way we've engaged in meetings, the way we are playing, so this win was coming.' Baker joked there are still some things to work on 'I think we need to practice singing the song…not many of us knew the words' Walyalup undefeated The switch to the name of Walyalup seems to work well for the Dockers. They are undefeated since they adopted the Indigenous name for Fremantle across the Sir Doug Nicholls rounds in recent seasons.

Four unexpected points claimed on the road has Freo fans daring to hope again. They have been burnt before contemplating the potential of the team, but it is a platform to launch towards the top eight and has them back in the finals conversation if they can continue to play at that level. Shai Bolton is showing every bit of the recruit Fremantle needed and Cooper Simpsons injection to the halfback line looks a great fit. One of the biggest questions is how to make the partnership of Luke Jackson and Sean Darcy work in the same team. Darcy missed on the weekend and gave Jackson another opportunity to shine with more time on the ball. Speaking to 6PR Football post match after another big week of speculation around his future he was pretty clear ruck is his preferred position. 'I've played that position through juniors and state level and got drafted in that position,' he said. 'So I feel like that's where I play my most natural game. And I feel like as a player, it really brings out my strengths. 'And, yeah, footy is a long game. So you have a lot of chances to get ahead of your opponent. And I really pride my endurance and my follow-up work. 'I do have a lot of fun playing the position. I had fun out there today.' WA Watch Kamdyn McIntosh Congratulations to the pride of Pinjarra who kicked a couple of goals in game 200. The Tigers couldn't get the win for him going down in a thriller to the Roo's.
