ADELAIDE skipper Taylor Walker will put his money where his mouth is, deciding to challenge his fine for misconduct against West Coast midfielder Luke Shuey.
Walker will front the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday evening after being slapped with a $2500 sanction for the incident in Saturday's game at Adelaide Oval.

The key forward, who complained about the penalty on social media, could have accepted a $1500 fine with an early guilty plea.

Crows football boss Brett Burton on Tuesday said the misconduct charge was unwarranted.
"We don't believe Taylor's actions were unreasonable in the circumstances, so we will be challenging at the Tribunal," he said.
Meanwhile, all other sanctions from the weekend have been accepted.
Gold Coast ruckman Brayden Crossley was fined $2000 for rough contact, and Port Adelaide duo Chad Wingard and Sam Powell-Pepper were fined $1000 each for careless contact with an umpire, as was West Coast midfielder Jack Redden.
