Richmond coach Damien Hardwick says Shai Bolton made a mistake in taunting opponent Sam Docherty before kicking an important goal in the Tigers' narrow AFL win over Carlton.
Bolton caused controversy early in the fourth quarter of Thursday night's contest at the MCG when he held the ball aloft in front of the chasing Blues defender while running into an open goal.
It was the first major of the final term in a fiery contest but Bolton's premature celebration almost came back to bite him on the backside as the Tigers rode a late challenge and hung on to win by 15 points.
