The AFL has launched an investigation into an incident during Sydney’s win over Brisbane on Saturday at the Gabba.
Although no complaints were made by the Swans player, the incident involved the possible inappropriate touching by a Lions player towards his opponent.
It’s understood the incident was initially viewed through a Match Review Officer lens, before it was elevated to the AFL Integrity Unit.
