Western Bulldogs great Luke Darcy said on Channel 7: “He has gone right through them here.
“I think he’s just making a point, ‘This is one of our great players, Kade Simpson, and we’re not going to finish this game tonight the way we played in the second quarter.’
“You don’t get him animated too often, David Teague.”
Richmond legend Matthew Richardson replied: “I’ve never seen him like that.
“That is the ninth time this year they’ve given up a run of five goals to the opposition, so he’d be furious with that.”
For the 18th time in their last 28 encounters, Carlton conceded a 30-point deficit against the Lions, highlighting an alarming trend for the club.

Geelong Advertiser reporter Alex Oates posted: “It doesn’t seem right to be saying farewell to Kade Simpson. Absolute champion.”
Carlton forward Harry McKay kicked a game-high three goals, while midfielder Sam Walsh managed 31 disposals.
