Shane Edwards to front AFL tribunal Richmond's Shane Edwards will front the AFL tribunal to contest a striking charge Source: Getty Images RICHMOND utility Shane Edwards will challenge a one-match striking ban at the AFL tribunal tonight in a bid to play in the round-23 clash with Essendon. Due to Edwards' six-year good record, the sanction for the level-three striking offence against GWS youngster Liam Sumner was reduced from two matches to one. The ban would have remained at one match even if Edwards had accepted an early guilty plea. Essendon midfielder Heath Hocking will miss Saturday night's clash with the Tigers after accepting a one-match suspension for striking Carlton's Chris Yarran. Gold Coast's Steven May has also accepted a one-game ban for striking St Kilda forward Stephen Milne. Hawthorn's Brad Sewell has been docked $1950 for making reckless contact with an umpire and West Coast captain Darren Glass has been fined $900 for wrestling.
