MELBOURNE will appeal the AFL Tribunal’s verdict to suspend Jack Viney for two matches.

Viney was found guilty of rough conduct on Tuesday night.

The club will be appealing on the grounds that “that the decision was so unreasonable, that no Tribunal acting reasonably could have come to that decision having regard to the evidence before it".

The club had until 12pm on Wednesday to determine if it would appeal.

If the appeal is successful, it means Viney will be eligible to play in Melbourne’s next two matches against the Western Bulldogs and Richmond.
