- Lynch apologized to teammates at halftime, admitting his behaviour was 'not good enough as a leader' and said the frustration came from trying to get free.
- The Tigers lost to Adelaide by 68 points and currently sit 17th on the ladder, while Lynch faces a likely lengthy suspension to be determined Monday by the match review officer.
- Richmond coach Adem Yze described Lynch's action as an example of his 'white-line fever', and the incident will likely draw a strong response from the AFL.
