		Lynch received a four-match suspension for one count of striking, three matches for another striking charge, and three matches for attempted striking during the incident, which happened in the Lions' goal square midway through the opening quarter.
		Lynch and Wakelin told the tribunal they didn't believe either had made contact with the other's head, Lynch saying he believed the bleeding nose he sustained was as a result of the two clashing heads.
		Lynch stopped short of apologising for the incident, but told the tribunal his reaction to the injury and the niggling he had been receiving from Wakelin was "totally incorrect".

	Print Article: Alastair Lynch: an enduring tale
		To understand Alastair Lynch, and what has taken him to the 300-game milestone he reaches tonight, you must go back to the beginning, to Tasmania's northwest coast.
		Alastair finished up on Tasmania's team of the century next to Hudson in the forward line, and the Hawthorn great proudly points out that from that team at Hobart, five players - his son Paul, Lynch, Matthew Armstrong, Jamie Shanahan and Andrew Lamprill - went on to play a combined 917 AFL games.
		Armstrong jokes that Lynch is an indictment to the AFL because "he slept for seven years" with his chronic fatigue.

	AFL legend Alastair Lynch
		ALASTAIR LYNCH will always be known as one of the legends of AFL football, after a career that lasted 17 years, including a premiership hat-trick.
		But Alastair's football career took a very unexpected turn in 1995, when he became seriously ill. "It was like your worst flu where your muscles tingle and ache and that sort of stuff," he says.
		Alastair was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - it took him more than a year to 'get on top' of the illness, and when he returned to AFL, he slowly learnt to manage the illness: stretching out over the good periods, and helping his body build up enough tolerance for high-level training sessions.

		Marjorie believes Alastair was born with a steely determination and composure.

		Wright remembers that Lynch was not really any good at football, but had the natural athletic talent and instinct to overshadow everyone on the ground.

	Lynch eyes a fourth flag - www.realfooty.com.au
		Lynch returned to Brisbane from a holiday on the Sunshine Coast on Sunday and told the Lions yesterday afternoon of his intentions, which were clouded a fortnight ago by thoughts of retirement and an offer from the Lions he considered unworthy.
		But as one of the privileged 16 Lions to have played in each of the last three premiership sides, Lynch said it was the opportunity to equal the record of four successive premierships, set by Collingwood between 1927-1930, that was particularly alluring.
		Lynch has reviewed his football future on an annual basis in recent seasons, but a fortnight ago the club was sufficiently concerned about the possibility of his retirement that coach Leigh Matthews and football manager Graeme Allan were dispatched to the Sunshine Coast to speak with him.
