Prespakis was cleared of any wrongdoing for her dump tackle on Richmond star Monique Conti.
However, Prespakis was slapped with a one-game ban for her spear tackle on Sarah Hosking, meaning she will miss this week's clash with West Coast unless she can overturn the ban.

If Prespakis fails to escape suspension, she won't be eligible to win the AFLW best-and-fairest award.
Prespakis has averaged 27 disposals and five tackles a game this season, with her hot form helping fifth-placed Essendon compile a 5-2 record.
Adelaide defender Najwa Allen will also plead her case on Tuesday after being sent straight to the AFLW Tribunal for her high shepherd on Western Bulldogs forward Kirsten McLeod.

McLeod was concussed by the hit, which was classified as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact.
She is facing a ban of at least three matches.
