MELBOURNE will challenge forward Kysaiah Pickett's one-match ban at the Tribunal, while Carlton has accepted Lachie Fogarty's suspension.

Pickett was offered a one-game suspension for his bump on Jake Soligo during the Demons' win over Adelaide on Thursday night.

The Match Review Officer graded the incident as careless conduct with high contact and medium impact, triggering the ban.

But the Demons announced on Monday they would be challenging the suspension at the Tribunal.
