From the Herald-Sun:

Andrew Krakouer is struggling to be fit for today's game with an ankle injury, but even if he was a late withdrawal, Wallace said Kellaway was no certainty for a call-up for a possible farewell.

"He's got through training sessions, (but I don't know) whether he's been able to get to full-steam training," Wallace said. "I don't know whether he would be putting his hand up to play if there was a change or whether he won't until I speak to the medical staff."

Wallace said Krakouer would be given every chance to prove his fitness for today's game.

Tiger star probe

DETECTIVES were last night trying to interview Richmond football star Andrew Krakouer after a bashing in Fremantle.

Justin Martin, 24, was serious but stable in hospital, with head injuries.

Krakouer is one of two men police want to speak to about the incident, which happened about midnight on Friday. It is understood the other man is his brother.

Police said three or four men were involved in the incident, which began in Mews Rd, Fremantle, before spilling into a car park in Marine Tce.

Mr Martin was taken to Fremantle Hospital before being transferred to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

Sgt Graham Clifford said: "Police have visited a number of locations and spoken to a number of people.

"We have been unable to locate the two men we wish to speak with.

"Inquiries are continuing."

Krakouer, 23, who has two young daughters, is thought to be in Western Australia for a few days with his Perth-born wife for Christmas.

Richmond officials have been told police want to talk to the rover.

Krakouer has spoken by telephone to Tiger football director Greg Miller, who said last night he was trying to obtain more details.

Mr Miller said members of two families might have been in dispute.

Krakouer was drafted to the Tigers from South Fremantle in 2000 and made his debut the following year.

He is the son of former North Melbourne champion Jimmy Krakouer and the nephew of Phil.

Jimmy Krakouer served nine years of a 16-year sentence for trafficking amphetamines.

So much for having a incident-free RFC preseason  .

Anyway there's no proper details or direct involvement proved as yet so we'll have to wait and see. That hasn't stopped idiots on BF's main board making "like father, like son" and alike remarks  . 

[Moi]

Go to the cops, Andrew, and clear your name.
Hope the boy in hospital is okay.

That hasn't stopped idiots on BF's main board making "like father, like son" and alike remarks  . 

There is a lot of idiots in this world - Just not worth worrying about.
Can't say I am to upset about BF being banned at work.

As for the media 

Krak seems like a pretty quiet sort of guy and the footballers do get hassled by idiots a lot - Who knows what happened - leave it at that atm 

[mightytiges]

For such a story things are quiet. No talk about it on Sports Today on 3aw or any mentions on hourly news. As Moi said Andy just needs to go to the police and clear his name.

Just on SEN, Krak has been charged with assault.

Richmond's Andrew Krakouer has been charged with assault, the club has confirmed.

Krakouer was charged by Fremantle police this morning following an incident in Fremantle on Friday evening.

The club says he has been fully co-operating with police and is likely to appear in court late next week.

Krakouer will be defending the charge.

Richmond said neither they nor Krakouer would be making any further comment on the matter at this stage.

Good luck, Andy - sounds like you'll need it 

[Moi]

Now, I've hardly ever seen a bad photo of Andrew, but the one used in this one would have to be his worst, and makes him out to be a rough-looking character.  Interesting choice by Sportal    Were they trying to portray something?

Like I said who knows what happened, but more than likely some smart mouth has copped what they deserved and then gone crying to mummy after the fact  . Probably got away with it a million times before and fate finally caught up

He'll be sweet i rekkon.

People only cop a whack if they ask for it.
