Lions’ McCarthy cops one-match AFL ban for jumper punch
Brisbane Lions ahead Lincoln McCarthy has been provided a one-match ban for hanging Kamdyn McIntosh in Thursday’s 81-point AFL win over Richmond.
McCarthy struck McIntosh on the chin with a jumper punch, with many pundits calling for him to be suspended.
The incident was graded as intentional conduct, low impression and excessive contact, drawing a one-game ban.
Except he unsuccessfully challenges the suspension, McCarthy will miss subsequent week’s house conflict with West Coast.
