Jack Riewoldt was forced off on Friday night after suffering a nasty gash to his head during Richmond’s clash with Sydney.
The Tigers veteran was contesting an aerial ball when he collided with Swans star Hayden McLean, and immediately reached for his head with his right hand, knowing that he’d suffered an injury.
Blood was seen gushing from the forward’s face as he left the field at Adelaide Oval, as his concerned coach Damien Hardwick watched on.
‘He knew straightaway,’ Channel Seven’s Abbey Holmes said. ‘I heard it from here at ground level, a massive collision and he is straight to his feet and straight off.’
