Geelong captain Patrick Dangerfield is staring down the barrel of a suspension handed to him by the AFL’s match review officer after dumping Carlton midfielder Sam Walsh in a dangerous tackle. Dangerfield drove Walsh’s head into the MCG turf in a tackle inside the first minute of Friday night’s top-eight blockbuster between the two sides.
