We've decided to go back through and look at the longest suspensions in AFL history.

To qualify for this list, the incident must have occurred at a game and on the field of play from anywhere between 1990 to now.

4. Andrew Gaff - 2018 vs. Fremantle - 8 games

Despite never having been suspended, fined or even reprimanded in his career before this moment, Andrew Gaff's major brain fade sees him ranked high on this list.

The All-Australian was a genuine Brownlow Medal threat this season, although one big hit on Fremantle's Andrew Brayshaw saw both players' seasons end.

Gaff was hit with an eight-game ban, while Brayshaw suffered a broken jaw, and saw three of his lower teeth displaced.

Brayshaw can not eat solid foods for a month after the incident. Ouch.
