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:
2. Ben Cousins - 2007 - 22 matches
One of the most famous and saddest stories in football. In 2007, arguably the game's best player at the time, Cousins, was sentenced 12 months away from senior football for "bringing the game into disrepute" and delisted by West Coast thereafter.
The 2005 Brownlow medallist had been involved in a number of off-field scandals in the two years leading up to his suspension, largely related to drug use, even sensationally undertaking rehab in Malibu, California.
It was later revealed that Cousins tragically battled drug addiction throughout his career in a documentary titled 'Such is Life'.
