AFL:Suns battle fine, Kangaroos fight ban at tribunal

North Melbourne forward Paul Curtis will return to the AFL tribunal, fighting another three-game ban for a dangerous tackle.

Gold Coast will try to avoid a hefty AFL fine when they go to the tribunal and contest Daniel Rioli's umpire contact charge.

Curtis was booked for rough conduct after his tackle last Saturday left West Coast player Hamish Davis with concussion.

The incident was deemed careless conduct, severe impact and high contact.

Davis's arms were pinned in the tackle, leaving him vulnerable.

Curtis unsuccessfully went to the tribunal last year to contest a three-match suspension for a tackle on Port Adelaide's Josh Sinn.

The North forward will know his fate by the end of Tuesday night's hearing. But the Suns will contest Rioli's fine with a written submission, meaning that verdict will not be known until Wednesday.
