Following on from Collingwood's Jaidyn Stephenson receiving a 10-match ban for betting on Pies matches, we've delved back into the books and looked at 10 of the most famous suspensions in the league's history.
The majority of this list includes penalties from on-field incidents, but we've included events off the field too, such as Stephenson's.
Here are 10 of the AFL's most famous suspensions:
8.
Steven Baker โ 2010 vs. Geelong โ 9 games
It was a grand final rematch and Baker and Steve Johnson had a bone to pick with each other.
It all began with Johnson throwing a wild elbow into the face of Baker after the latter was niggling the Cat. From there, Baker would strike the Norm Smith Medallist a number of times. One of the hits included a hit to the injured hand of Johnson.
After accepting guilty pleas to number of the charges, Baker would be suspended for nine games. At the time, a number of AFL analysts did not agree with the ban that was handed down.
Johnson would miss three games due to his role in what occurred.
