League investigation officer Paul Habel referred the incident to the tribunal after speaking to both clubs.
Lloyd has been charged with striking.
The incident happened during the opening quarter of the round nine clash between the two sides which the Saints won by nine points.
It will be the first Hume league tribunal case this season after the introduction this year of the new grading system similar to what exists at AFL level.
The seventh-placed Bulldogs will be sweating on the outcome after an upset win against an injury-ravaged Howlong last weekend kept their faint finals hopes alive.
They trail the sixth-placed Saints by four points and percentage with three rounds remaining.

The Bulldogs face Osborne, Culcairn and Henty in the run home while the Saints have Holbrook, Lockhart and Murray Magpies.
The Saints would have to lose to both Holbrook and Lockhart for the Bulldogs to have any chance of snatching an unlikely finals berth.
The tribunal hearing will commence at 6.30pm.
