The Saints showed no hesitation to put their case forward in a bid to have the 37-year-old cleared for Sunday's elimination final against Wodonga Raiders at Albury Sportsground.

Murray will be represented by former coach Andrew Dale.

Myrtleford president Ian Wales said he left the decision in Murray's hands.

"If Brad thought that it was worth challenging, the club would back him and help him in any way we can," Wales said.

"He's got a fantastic record for a bloke that has played 20 years of senior football, he's never been suspended.

"He's won the ultimate award in the Ovens and Murray (2005 Morris Medal) for fairness, so his record is pretty good. He's coached at the O and M level as well."

Wales is hoping for a positive outcome, but is confident the Saints can cover him.

"It's worth the challenge that's for sure, and, if it's not successful, we've got a good list of 25 to 28 senior players," he said.

"I'm sure there's someone there who is ready to put there hand up and is ready to jump in and take his spot that's for sure.

"But I'd still prefer Brad Murray out there. Hopefully on Sunday we'll see the number 54 running around out there."

Wodonga Raider Alex Daly will also be sweating on a positive outcome to allow him to take on the Saints on Sunday.

Daly was charged with bumping or making forceful contact against North Albury's Josh Lloyd, with the case sent straight to the tribunal.

It's a very busy night ahead for the tribunal with three cases in total.

Yarrawonga's Josh Tonna will also have a striking case heard after being reported in the Pigeons' loss to Wangaratta Rovers on Saturday.

Teammate Jess Koopman was also reported for using abusive language towards an umpire, but the umpire has withdrawn the charge.
