EARLIER

Port Adelaide is challenging Robbie Gray’s suspension, in what will be the first test of the AFL’s new tribunal system.

Gray was given a one-match ban by the Match Review Officer for a high hit against West Coast at the weekend.

Unlike previous seasons, he does not risk an increased penalty should he be unsuccessful at the tribunal.

Port Adelaide will instead risk a $10,000 cost that will be included in their soft football department cap.
