North Melbourne defender Griffin Logue has had his one-match suspension upheld at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
Logue opted to challenge his suspension at the Tribunal after the MRO charged him with rough conduct for a bump on Hawthorn’s Will Day in the third quarter of Saturday’s loss in Launceston.
The incident was graded as careless, medium impact and high conduct with Logue collecting Day’s head with his shoulder as he ran past the football.

Logue and the Roos tried to argue that he never intended to bump and instead collided with the Hawk as attempted to collect the bouncing football.
Unfortunately for the Kangaroos, the Tribunal upheld the MRO's decision and he'll now miss North Melbourne’s Round 4 clash against Carlton on Good Friday.
The 24-year-old will be available for the club’s Round 5 clash against Brisbane during Gather Round on April 15.
