Record-breaking Magpie in MRO trouble over tackle
Jack Crisp could miss his 279th straight game if the MRO suspends him, while Billy Frampton also faces review after a dangerous tackle.
Jack Crisp's record of 279 consecutive VFL/AFL games since 2014 could end due to a tackle that concussed Tom Blamires during a match at Marvel Stadium.
Blamires entered AFL's mandatory 12-day concussion protocols after the incident, raising the possibility of Crisp facing suspension under the league's head injury rules.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae acknowledged Crisp might face scrutiny and said the veteran would be shattered if suspended, noting Crisp's record is likely to stand for a long time.
North Melbourne's coach Alastair Clarkson declined to comment on the tackle, and there is debate over suspensions following a similar case involving Paul Curtis.
