A Brisbane player is reportedly being investigated by the AFL Integrity Unit regarding potential "inappropriate touching" towards a Swans opponent.
Sydney claimed a two-point win over the Lions at the Gabba on Saturday.
On Monday, journalist Tom Morris reported that the AFL was looking at an incident from the game, although no player has yet been named.

We're not naming the players because it's an open and possibly delicate investigation. Both clubs have been spoken to…
A report in the Herald Sun from Jon Ralph includes the following statement from Brisbane:
"The club is aware the AFL Integrity Unit is looking into an alleged incident from Saturday’s match against Sydney. While this process is being conducted, the club will not be commenting at this point.”
The incident in question sees the Lions player try to keep his feet amid a tangle of legs after a marking contest. If there is contact it's extremely brief and totally accidental. Seems absolutely nothing to it https://t.co/OrLdpWrBse

While they had little to play for given they are out of finals contention, the Swans will be buoyed by their performance on the road to a team that has had their measure in recent times, particularly in last year's grand final.
Unfortunately for Dean Cox's side, the win didn't come cheap, with Justin McInerney expected to be ruled out of the remaining games with a PCL injury, while Brodie Grundy has entered concussion protocols.
More to come.
