September 8th 2009 02:42
CARLTON skipper Chris Judd will face the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night after electing to contest his misconduct charge.
Judd was charged with making unreasonable and unecessary contact to the face of Brisbane's Michael Rischitelli during the second quarter of the Blues' seven-point loss in the elimination final at the Gabba last Saturday night.
The star midfielder, who was offered a two-match suspension for the incident, risks missing the first three matches next season if he is found guilty.
The 2004 Brownlow medallist will still be eligible for the 2009 and 2010 Brownlow medals irrespective of the outcome at the tribunal.
Meanwhile, Essendon duo Mark McVeigh and Nathan Lovett-Murray will also contest two-match bans.
McVeigh was booked for striking Adelaide's Bernie Vince during the Bombers' crushing 96-point loss in last Friday night's elimination final and is facing three weeks on the sidelines should he be found guilty.
Lovett-Murray was charged with engaging in rough conduct against Vince and is also risking a three-match suspension.
