Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has criticised the behaviour of star player Shai Bolton for taunting an opponent as he was running into goal.- minutes prior to an epic Carlton comeback that fell just short - Bolton held out the ball to a chasing Sam Docherty before kicking a goal.While Carlton coach Michael Voss claimed he hadn’t seen the incident and chose not to comment, Hardwick had firm views.“He’ll be regretful, he’ll be accountable and responsible for it.
Tensions boiled over at three-quarter-time when Carlton captain Patrick Cripps lashed out at Tigers midfielder Dion Prestia after Cripps was awarded a free kick for a push. “We’re getting a lot more inside 50s than our opposition and in fairness that’s been a staple of when we’ve had success. We know what our game looks like ... we’ve just got to get better at generating more shots on goal.Voss questioned a controversial score review decision that could have cost his side a crucial win. With nine minutes left in the final quarter and with the Blues charging, wingman Jack Newnes snapped over his shoulder to put his side within three points.
“It didn’t look it from where I was, but I don’t watch the 10 different angles of it, I’ve got one. But it was touched then we move on,” Voss said.
