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:
4. Alastair Lynch โ 2004 vs. Port Adelaide โ 10 games
In 2004, Brisbane were going for an unbelievable fourth premiership in a row. Now that wouldnโt eventuate, but it didnโt stop Lynch from going down swinging, literally.
It was late in the first quarter when Lynch went at Darryl Wakelin and the two didnโt much around. They started wrestling and throwing punches almost immediately. At one point Jason Akermanis and Gavin Wanganeen looked as if they would join/intervene, however they both thought better of it.
It was a violent incident that Lynch would go on to regret. He never served his 10 game ban, due to retiring after that match.
