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.
6. Barry Hall - 2008 vs. West Coast - 7 games
The most infamous incident of 21st century, who could forget Hall's vicious left hand hook. It resulted in a seven game ban for the Swan, and the vision shown around the world.
Hall has never really been able to shake the bad boy tag, and this hit is the first thing that springs to mind for many AFL fans. Like Lynch he has gone on to state that the incident is one of his biggest regrets in football.
Staker took no further part in the game, and like Hall is also predominantly remembered for this hit.
