St Kilda youngster Lance Collard will learn his fate on Tuesday, 3pm (AEST) after he was found guilty of conduct unbecoming during last week's two-day Tribunal hearing.
The AFL Disciplinary Tribunal found sufficient evidence that he said a homophobic slur during St Kilda's Round 2 VFL match against Frankston on March 27.
The AFL requested a 10-game suspension, but the Tribunal, comprised of Chair Jeff Gleeson KC, former player Scott Stevens and barrister Melia Benn, did not hand down a penalty.
The Saints have indicated it will consider an appeal.

"St Kilda Football Club is naturally disappointed with the decision handed down by the AFL disciplinary tribunal this afternoon," a statement last week read.
"The process is ongoing, with further submissions from both parties to be made on any penalty. A date for this next step is yet to be confirmed.
"The club is also reviewing the tribunal's written findings and will consider its position, including avenues of appeal. We will continue to support Lance throughout this process.
"As the matter remains ongoing, the club will make no further comment at this time."
St Kilda coach Ross Lyon said he hasn't spoken to Collard amid the ongoing investigation.
"I haven't had a conversation. He's in a holding pattern," Lyon said following the 14-point win over Port Adelaide.
