RICHMOND forward Jake King has decided to challenge his striking charge at the AFL tribunal.
King was charged with a level two striking offence for a jumper punch on Brisbane Lions player Ash McGrath during a behind-the-play scuffle in the first quarter of the Tigers' win at the Gabba on Saturday night.
The Richmond small forward faces a one week suspension if found guilty, which would rule him out of this weekend's clash with Melbourne.
The Tigers are not risking a longer suspension by taking the case to the tribunal.
The hearing will be held at 5pm AEST.
