Steve Johnson, Ryan Crowley to fight AFL charges Steve Johnson will fight his charge at the AFL Tribunal after coming into contact with Pierce Hanley GEELONG star Steve Johnson will fight his two-match AFL rough conduct ban at the tribunal tonight. And Fremantle tagger Ryan Crowley will contest a pinching charge. Johnson was offered a two-game suspension for his high bump on Brisbane's Pearce Hanley in Sunday's loss at the Gabba. The penalty included carryover points from an offence earlier this year, which meant Johnson couldn't reduce the ban to one game with an early plea. But it also means he won't risk an extra match by fighting the charge. If his tribunal bid fails, he'll miss games against third-placed Fremantle and top-placed Hawthorn. Dockers coach Ross Lyon said on Monday night that Crowley didn't believe he was guilty of pinching North Melbourne star Brent Harvey, for which he could be fined $1200. "He's disappointed with what's been asserted," Lyon told Perth radio station 6PR. I back Ryan 100 per cent. If Ryan was out there pinching players I would have a problem with it internally. West Coast's Andrew Embley (one match), Melbourne's Jake Spencer (three games) and St Kilda's Tom Simpkin (two) have all accepted suspensions for various offences.
