Reid was cited for slinging St Kilda's Darcy Wilson to the ground in the Eagles' 14-point loss on Saturday.
What's next?West Coast wunderkind Harley Reid has failed to halve his two-game dangerous tackle suspension at the AFL tribunal.
The league's match review officer charged Reid with rough conduct and graded the incident as careless contact, high impact and high contact, drawing a two-match ban. AFL counsel Sally Flynn asserted Reid's rough-conduct charge was a clear example of an inherently dangerous tackle, pointing out the potential to cause a concussion or neck injury.
West Coast is going to argue the tackle that ruled Harley Reid out of the Rising Star race should be deemed medium impact, rather than high, reducing his suspension from two games to one.Will Day's tackle on Brad Close, where the Hawk pinned the Cats' arms and slammed his head into the ground, was shown as an example of high impact.
Earlier on Tuesday night, Western Bulldogs forward Rhylee West had his rough-conduct charge, and a week's suspension, thrown out.
