THE AFL Tribunal will sit on Tuesday evening to decide a penalty for Brian Lake's choke-hold on Drew Petrie, which occurred during the third quarter of Friday night's clash between Hawthorn and North Melbourne.

Both Lake and Petrie will front the Tribunal on Tuesday evening to have their cases heard.

Lake was charged with misconduct by the Match Review Panel on Monday, but the panel opted against reaching its own finding on the matter.

For his part in the fracas, Petrie was cited for making unreasonable and unnecessary contact with the face of Lake.

The MRP slapped him with a one-match suspension after grading the incident as negligent, low impact and high contact.

While Petrie could have accepted a reprimand and 93.75 carryover points if he had plead guilty, he has opted to contest the charge, as was revealed by coach Brad Scott on Monday evening.

Join Nathan Schmook LIVE from the Tribunal at 5pm (AEST) as both cases are heard.
