Richmond’s star midfielder, Brett Deledio will head to the AFL Tribunal tonight (Tuesday, May 6) to challenge the charge laid against him for striking Geelong’s Matthew Stokes during the second quarter of last Sunday’s game at the MCG.

The Club opted not to accept the one-match suspension through an early plea and will instead challenge the Level Three Striking Offence (225 demerit points, two-match sanction).
