Tom Lynch reported for wild swing on Adelaide's Jordon Butts
The ugly incident occurred when Lynch's marking attempt was spoiled in front of the Members' Reserve at the MCG as three Crows surrounded him.
He threw the type of wild strike rarely seen nowadays and struck Butts in the back of the head, with the Crows defender falling to the ground. Butts picked himself up and kept playing and was not hurt.
Lynch continued to remonstrate with Crows players, who rushed over as the umpire tried to quell emotions by reporting the premiership Tiger. He fought with Mark Keane and Josh Worrall as his emotions seemed to overwhelm him.
