Footage shows Shannon Cox, 36, who played for Collingwood from 2007 to 2009, punching another man outside Geraldton's Recreation Ground in Western Australia on Saturday. Cox was at the ground playing in the Great Northern Football League preliminary final with the Rovers, who won the match by 24-points. Maurice Brand, a father of a Brigades player, has also been barred from games for 18 months for striking. GNFL umpires have threatened to strike until the West Australian Football Commission has completed an investigation into Saturday's incident. The Rovers will play against the Brigades in Saturday's grand final at the Country Builders Stadium.
