Luke Trainor Faces Suspension After Off-the-Ball Incident

Richmond Tigers defender Luke Trainor is expected to face a suspension after he was seen punching West Coast Eagles defender Jack Williams during the second quarter of their recent match.

This incident, occurring off the ball, falls under the AFL's recent crackdown on such actions, which has resulted in multiple player sanctions this season. AFL footy boss Greg Swann had previously emphasized the league's commitment to addressing these incidents.

Trainor's actions were clearly captured on camera, making it likely that he will be cited by the Match Review Officer. This situation is particularly unfortunate for Trainor, who has been dealing with concussion issues and the physical demands of AFL football while trying to establish his career.
