The Collingwood Football Club has decided to challenge the three-match suspension offered to captain Nick Maxwell by the AFL Match Review Panel, following an incident involving West Coast's Patrick McGinnity during the first quarter of Saturday night's NAB Cup match at Subiaco Oval.

The tribunal hearing will be held next Tuesday 17 February due to Collingwood heading to the Mornington Peninsula for its annual AFL Community Camp on the 10th and 11th February.
