The AFL will appeal the leniency of the two-week suspension handed to Richmond’s Bachar Houli for knocking out Carlton’s Jed Lamb, believing the sanction to be “manifestly inadequate”.
In a ruling on Tuesday night, the AFL Tribunal deemed Houli’s strike on Lamb as intentional and of high impact to the head, but chose to ban him for just two matches.
The appeal will be held on Thursday evening.
