Richmond midfielder Reece Conca has badly injured his ankle in the game against Sydney.

Conca’s ankle folded under Buddy Franklin in a tackle, and he went down in a huge amount of pain.

The ankle appeared to be broken.

The Tigers medicos had to stretcher Conca off on the medicart with the green stick for pain relief.

The Richmond players and coaching staff were visibly concerned for Conca.

Watch the incident here, but beware — it’s graphic:

The Tigers and Swans are level 3.0 (18) apiece at Etihad Stadium midway through the first term.
