North Melbourne will sit down with AFL football boss Greg Swann after the Kangaroos were left confused by a three-game suspension handed to forward Paul Curtis.
The club failed to overturn Curtis' ban for a tackle that left with West Coast's Hamish Davis with concussion, deciding against appealing the tribunal's decision to uphold the penalty.
The verdict left Curtis' teammate Jy Simpkin fuming, the former North captain firing up on Instagram to condemn the suspension in a rare display of strong public opinion from a current player.
After a "joint conversation" with the AFL and North football boss Todd Viney, Simpkin deleted his posts that included calling the match review officer "laughable".
Viney plans to discuss the Curtis verdict with Swann, while Simpkin also has the option to meet with AFL officials and voice his views directly.
