RICHMOND forward Tyrone Vickery will face the AFL Tribunal for punching West Coast ruckman Dean Cox.

The Tribunal will sit at AFL House at 5pm (AEST) on Tuesday to hear Vickery's case.

The big forward was reported for punching Cox in the head during the Tigers' 17-point win over the Eagles on Friday night at Patersons Stadium.

Cox was knocked out by the blow and had to be subbed out of the game.

Watch the incident

The incident was graded by the Match Review Panel on Monday morning, with the panel deciding it was intentional (three activation points), severe impact (four points) and high contact (two points).

Vickery has an existing bad record of 43.75 demerit points carried over from within the last 12 months.

The MRP also looked at the elbow to the chest that Cox landed on Vickery prior to the strike.

The panel's report said, "Cox and Vickery were preparing to take position at a boundary throw-in when Cox throws his arm back and makes contact to Vickery.

"… it was the view of the panel the force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence."
