Richmond forward Tom Lynch could find himself in extremely hot water after intentionally swinging on Adelaide defender Jordon Butts.

Off the back of a marking contest forward of the wing, Lynch – closely marked by Butts in the contest – turned and threw an almighty hook at the defender, connecting with the back of Butts’ head.

The following melee did not do Lynch any favours, with the veteran throwing yet another fist at defender Mark Keane during a wrestle off the ball.

Butts appeared to be okay following the incident, with Lynch being reported for the action within the second term of the Tigers' clash with the Crows.
