Melbourne to challenge Kysaiah Pickett ban at AFL tribunal, Giants skipper Toby Greene in the clear

Melbourne will challenge Kysaiah Pickett’s one-match ban at the AFL tribunal in a bid to free the gun forward for their bumper clash with the Brisbane Lions. But Carlton have accepted Lachie Fogarty’s suspension for rough conduct, with the forward sidelined for the Blues’ home game against Adelaide on Saturday. And GWS Giants are breathing a sigh of relief after captain Toby Greene escaped sanction for his tackle on Mac Andrew.

But AFL match review officer Michael Christian graded the incident as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, drawing a one-match suspension. On Monday, Melbourne confirmed they would challenge that ruling, risking $10,000 to clear Pickett for Thursday night’s clash at the MCG. The Demons will try to argue the impact down to low, which might be tough given the AFL can call on the potential to cause serious injury.
