Friend has been charged for comments on social media made after the league investigation into racial abuse by Laharum player Robbie Miller.
The tribunal suspended Miller for six weeks, with four weeks of the sentence suspended for a year, after he was found guilty of racially abusing a Natimuk United player during a match at Cameron Oval, Laharum, on June 7.
Friend was sanctioned for negative comments about the league on social media.
Some of the comments have since been removed.
Western Vic Football general manager Stephen McQueen confirmed Friend had been charged with and investigated for conduct unbecoming, and would face an independent tribunal on Wednesday.
Friend's charge states he placed comments on social media which brought the Horsham District Football Netball League and the game into disrepute under the Worksafe AFL Victoria Cybersafety Policy.
If found guilty, Friend faces a minimum two-week suspension.
