Mellier was rubbed out for an incident that left Kiewa-Sandy Creek’s Peter Winnett with a broken jaw.
The incident occurred during the opening minutes of the second semi-final at Sandy Creek.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The appeal will be heard by the AFL Victoria appeals board at a date to be fixed.
Meanwhile, Thurgoona has advertised for a new coach after Jason Sheather recently stepped down after two years at the helm.
