NORTH Melbourne will challenge skipper Jack Ziebell's one-match ban for kneeing Richmond's Reece Conca from the clubs' clash on Sunday.

The first-quarter incident occurred when Ziebell tackled the Tiger to the ground, lifted him slightly then dumped him again, his left knee making contact to the side of Conca's head in the process.

Match Review Officer Michael Christian graded Ziebell's conduct as intentional, low impact and high contact.

Hawthorn defender James Sicily missed one match for kneeing Joel Selwood in round two and Christian said there was no place for "kneeing in our game".

"It's more about the weight and the force of the blow," Christian said.

"I believe there was intent to drop the left knee into his head, and certainly the force of the blow was amplified by the fact his right leg was off the ground, which meant the full bodyweight of Jack was into Reece Conca.

"Looking at all the vision, that is our ruling, that it is intentional.

"And, of course, North Melbourne and Jack Ziebell, like every other player, has the right to go to the Tribunal if they see fit."

Meanwhile, GWS forward Jeremy Cameron, Carlton's Patrick Cripps and Jed Lamb, Fremantle's Bailey Banfield, St Kilda's Jade Gresham and Jack Steven, North Melbourne's Jarrad Waite and Collingwood's Taylor Adams have all accepted their fines.
