The vice-captain was offered a reprimand for making unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the face of Brian Lake during a tussle in the third quarter.
"We won’t be accepting a reprimand. We’ll challenge that at the tribunal," Scott said on Channel 7's Talking Footy.
"The charge is ‘unnecessary and unreasonable contact’; I’d ask any reasonable person to suggest what Drew should have done in that situation - maybe write Brian an email or something – because he couldn't see, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't talk."

Petrie was handed a one-match sanction, with the incident assessed as negligent conduct (one point), low impact (one point) and high contact (two points).
An early plea would reduce the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.
Lake was referred directly to the Tribunal for misconduct.
