West Coast will appeal the one-match ban handed down to defender Will Schofield for striking Melbourne's Clayton Oliver at half-time of their match on Saturday night.

Schofield will join Richmond's Bachar Houli at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night, after the Tiger was sent straight to the panel following his hit on Carlton's Jed Lamb on Sunday.

Schofield was controversially handed a one-match ban for striking Oliver, and the Eagles believe they have enough evidence to overturn the decision.

On Perth radio on Monday, Eagles coach Adam Simpson told 6PR they would think about contesting.

"We're going to look at it (challenging)," Simpson said.

"All the commentary around it, you sort of accept it from media outlets, but when players get involved it's probably another issue that we've got to look into.

"We can't dispute the medical report. Also, I'm one of the people who can't comment on it either, so we'll let it run its course and we'll get on with it.

"We've just got to weigh-up whether it's worth taking on or not.

"(I'm) a bit surprised about it all but we'll work through it and make a decision in the morning."

The incident was originally classified as a two-match sanction, meaning Schofield is risking a fortnight on the sidelines should the Tribunal dismiss his case.
