Catch the blame after net is damaged (6)
I believe the answer is:
entrap
'catch' is the definition.
(entrapping is a kind of catching)
'the blame after net is damaged' is the wordplay.
'the blame' becomes 'rap' ('rap' can be a synonym of 'blame').
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'is damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'net' anagrammed gives 'ent'.
'rap' after 'ent' is 'ENTRAP'.
(Other definitions for entrap that I've seen before include "Take" , "Snare, trick" , "Catch like parent" , "decoy" , "Snare - inveigle" .)
