Greater Western Sydney small forward Toby Bedford will go before the AFL Tribunal for the second time in a month, in a bid to overturn a rough conduct ban.
Bedford was sanctioned for his bump on Carlton’s Zac Fisher in round 24, which was graded careless conduct with medium impact and high contact.
If upheld, the one-match ban would see Bedford miss the elimination final against St Kilda.

After dishing off a handball to teammate Harry Himmelberg, Bedford stepped across in front of Fisher and made contact that sent the defender sprawling to the turf.
Replays of the incident show Bedford immediately going to Fisher’s aid at Marvel Stadium. The Blue was able to play out the game.
Bedford missed the Giants’ round 22 clash with Port Adelaide for a dangerous tackle on Sydney’s Oliver Florent, with the Giants lodging an unsuccessful Tribunal bid.
