Adelaide has confirmed it will appeal Shane McAdam’s three-game suspension for rough conduct handed down by the AFL tribunal on Tuesday night.

McAdam was charged with rough conduct for his bump on GWS’s Jacob Wehr on Sunday which the Match Review Officer graded as careless, with severe impact and high contact.

The Club’s legal counsel argued there was not any forceful or significant contact with Wehr's head and the impact was not severe. 

Adelaide's appeal against the tribunal's finding is expected to be heard on Thursday.
