MELBOURNE defender Jared Rivers will face the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night after electing to contest his charge of making negligent contact with an umpire.
Rivers was fined $1950 by the match review panel for making contact with field umpire Justin Schmitt during the third-quarter of the Demons' 17-point loss to Adelaide at the MCG on Sunday evening.
The 24-year-old risks increasing the fine to $2600 if he's unsuccessful in his appeal.
Meanwhile, Port Adelaide's Troy Chaplin has accepted a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record for striking St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt during last Friday night's clash at AAMI Stadium.
