Geelong defender Tom Stewart will learn his fate on Tuesday night at the AFL Tribunal following his high hit on Tiger Dion Prestia early into Saturday's win at the MCG.

The Match Review Officer has directed Stewart directly to the Tribunal after assessing the incident in question as Careless Conduct, Severe Impact, High Contact, currently warranting a likely suspension base of three matches.

Both the Cats and the AFL will argue for differing outcomes, with multiple verdicts on the cards at tonight's hearing.
