MIDFIELDER Jack Trengove will contest his engaging in rough conduct charge at the tribunal on Tuesday night.

 

The second-year Demon was offered a two-match ban with an early plea, but will now contest the charge.

Trengove was charged with a level three engaging in rough conduct offence against Adelaide’s Patrick Dangerfield during the third quarter of Melbourne’s 96-point win at the MCG on Sunday.

 

The match review panel said based on the video evidence available and a medical report from Adelaide, the incident was assessed as negligent conduct (one point), high impact (three points) and high contact (two points).

 

This is a total of six activation points, resulting in a classification of a level three offence, drawing 325 demerit points and a three-match sanction.

 

The tribunal will sit from 5pm.
