NORTH Melbourne recruit Tom Campbell will have a delayed start to the home and away season after accepting a one-match suspension for rough conduct.
And Adelaide co-captain Taylor Walker will head to the Tribunal on Tuesday night in a bid to overturn a fine for engaging in rough conduct.
Campbell, 27, will be unavailable for North's clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Sunday, March 24.
He was charged by Match Review Officer Michael Christian after tackling St Kilda ruckman Lewis Pierce in the first quarter of Saturday's JLT Community Series match at Avalon Airport Oval.
As Campbell tackled Pierce, he pinned the Saint's left arm and took him to ground. Pierce's head absorbed much of the impact and he took no further part in the game after displaying symptoms of concussion.
