Richmond's Tom Lynch takes ‘big swing' at opponent with old school haymaker
Richmond forward Tom Lynch can expect a lengthy stint on the sidelines after he unleashed an old fashioned haymaker on an Adelaide Crows player on Sunday. Adelaide defeated the Tigers by 68 points at the MCG to consolidate their position in the top four. Lynch was not enjoying the close attention of Crows defender Jordan Butts, giving away five free kicks to have an AFL Fantasy score of -15 at one stage. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo?

Late in the first quarter, Lynch lashed out at Butts after a marking contest, turning and whacking Butts across the face/head area, prompting him to fall to the turf in pain. The umpire blew a free kick and Lynch engaged in some further argy bargy with Crows players. Watch Tom Lynch's strike in the video above The strike on Butts immediately caught the attention of Fox Footy's commentators, especially given the turn-and-strike nature of the incident looked similar to Barry Hall's infamous punch on Brent Staker. Brad Johnson said in commentary: 'Lynch is in a lot of trouble here. I've just see a big whack. It's frustration. 'He actually got reported for the second punch – that first one was a free kick against. 'He gets in the scuffle again. He punches again. That's where the umpire comes in and reports him on the spot.' Dermott Brereton said: 'He's taken a big swing.' Footy reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy: 'He's in plenty of trouble. 'I asked Tom Lynch a month ago about his reputation as a tribunal regular. 'He said 'I've been suspended for two weeks across my whole career' – I think he's likely to double that. 'He does make contact there with Butts. You'd hate to think he could have followed through and really got him hard. 'It's clearly intentional, behind the play. Maybe it's high impact. 'The look of that strike is something (MRO's) Michael Christian factors in too. 'He's had scuffles with other players as well – I don't think there's a lot in those. 'It goes without saying, he's got to be better than that. His coach would be shattered – sometimes when it's not going your way you've got to suck it up.' Lynch told Seven post-game: 'I didn't want to cause harm or anything like that, I was just trying to get free and the frustration came out. 'I gave away too many free kicks and was not good enough as a leader; said at halftime sorry boys, thought we were playing pretty well in that second quarter and it pretty much stopped the momentum. 'I was just more frustrated with how he was defending me, I thought. And clearly it was within the rules because there were no free kicks awarded to me and I went outside the rules. I've got to be better.'

Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe benched for Fremantle's entire come-from-behind win over St Kilda
Dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe has been benched for Fremantle's entire come-from-behind win over St Kilda on Sunday night, clocking up a rare appearance as an unused substitute. The Dockers lost the lead in the third quarter before kicking four unanswered goals in the final term and then holding on for a 11.15 (81) to 9.15 (69) win at Optus Stadium. And they did it all without Fyfe after the veteran, who is facing serious questions about his future beyond this year, sat for the full game. Fremantle were two goals up with just under eight minutes remaining when it became clear the 33-year-old would not be called upon. 'He hasn't moved all day. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not coming on unless required (by injury),' Will Schofield said on Fox Sports. Dockers great Matthew Pavlich described it as 'strange' before Fremantle star Jordan Clark, who had 31 disposals and a goal in the win over the Saints, defended the situation in a post-match interview. 'It's a luxury. I think that's the best place — if we don't need him, we don't need him,' he told Fox Sports. 'Fyfey's role's changed at the club now and he still adds such a great level head, experience, and when he comes on for little bursts he's still got it. 'He would've loved to get out there tonight but selfishly I don't want to put him out there and risk (injury) — I want to keep him for the back end of the year.' The game will go down in the record books as Fyfe's fourth appearance of the season, all of which have involved the substitute role in some capacity. He was subbed on in his first two games of the year then played three-quarters of the Dockers' win over Essendon before being pulled. Fyfe managed just 11 disposals and one clearance, also spending periods stationed in attack to help fill the void left by Sam Switkowski (hamstring), but looked a shadow of the contested beast he once was. Channel 7 commentator Kane Cornes cast doubt about the future of the modern-day great, who comes out of contract at the end of the season. 'There's a big decision for Fremantle. In fact, I don't think it is that big a decision,' Cornes said on The Agenda Setters last week. 'It was sad watching Nat Fyfe on Thursday night. He started as a forward, his first full game in a while. His kick-to-handball ratio is high because he doesn't trust his kicking and his kicking has absolutely deserted him. 'So champion of the game ... shouldn't have been given the two-year contract extension some time ago. We said that at the time and now I think they sit him down. 'If not today, it's got to be this week and just say, 'look, Nat, this group is young, it's dynamic, and unfortunately the role that you play, others have gone past you'. '(Corey) Wagner's gone past you inside. Serong and Brayshaw, we know about. Hayden Young's going to come back. 'And performances like this don't do, I guess, his finish to an outstanding Hall of Fame-worthy career any justice.'

Fiorini in the clear for collision with Demons defender
Brayden Fiorini has been cleared over an incident that concussed Melbourne's Harrison Petty. (Dave Hunt/AAP PHOTOS) Credit: AAP Gold Coast's Brayden Fiorini has been cleared of any wrongdoing for the incident that concussed Melbourne's Harrison Petty, but the AFL will be splashing in the cash after 22 fines were handed out across two games. Fiorini clashed with Petty as the pair contested a loose ball, with both players putting their head over the ball. "It was the view of the MRO that Fiorini genuinely contests the ball and it was reasonable for him to contest in that way. No further action was taken," the MRO said in a statement. Melbourne defender Steven May escaped sanction for his high hit on Suns forward Ben Ainsworth, but 12 players were fined for the ensuing melee. Demons star Kysaiah Pickett was fined for striking Noah Anderson. Seven players were also fined from the North Melbourne-Hawthorn clash for a range of offences,
