June 2nd 2009 03:27
WEST COAST star Daniel Kerr is one of three players that will challenge suspensions handed down to them at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
Kerr was hit with a one-match ban for striking Carlton midfielder Marc Murphy before the start of Friday night's game at Etihad Stadium.
The incident was assessed by as intentional conduct, low impact and body contact, which equates to 125 demerit points but this rose to 197.88 points because Kerr has been suspended for a total of 10 matches in the past three seasons.
Kerr is not risking a lengthier ban by electing to challenge the charge.
Blues youngster Mitch Robinson and Western Bulldogs full-back Brian Lake will also contest
Robinson was given a two-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Eagle Adam Selwood but could have accepted a one-match penalty while the Dogs will challenge a one-match ban handed down to Lake for tripping Sydney's Jarrad Moore.
Like Kerr, Lake is not risking a lengthier ban by challenging the charge
In other tribunal news, St Kilda ruckman Michael Gardiner will miss Saturday's clash against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium after accepting a one-match suspension for striking Melbourne counterpart Mark Jamar.
The Dogs will be without forward Scott Welsh for Friday night's game against Richmond after the former Crow accepted a one-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against against Swans tagger Jared Crouch.
Meanwhile, Hawthorn skipper Sam Mitchell and Richmond defender Luke McGuane both accepted reprimands for striking while Crouch and Port midfielder Travis Boak both accepted fines for making negligent contact with a field umpire.
