Brent Harvey left the training track on Monday without comment after being informed he had been slugged with a one-match suspension that, barring a successful tribunal challenge, will sideline him from North Melbourne's first preliminary final for seven years, away to Sydney.
Veteran Harvey was training at Arden Street when he was informed of the match review panel's decision. He immediately headed inside the club's headquarters.
The Kangaroos have confirmed they will challenge the verdict at the tribunal on Tuesday night. Harvey does not risk being suspended for an additional match - potentially a grand final - with an adverse tribunal ruling, instead of just Friday's match at ANZ Stadium.

Harvey was charged, for the second time in his past three matches, over a bump he laid on Joel Selwood last Friday night that left the Geelong captain bleeding from a cut above his eye. The cut was caused by a clash of heads - a scenario which does not save the player who engages the contact, due to an off-season rule change.
