Bombers president Alan Miller said the incident would be "agenda item number one" at a pre-scheduled club meeting on Monday but declined to comment further on the issue until then.
Power coach Ben Walsh said while there did not appear to be much of a build-up to the contact, the incident was quickly resolved.
"I thought East Warrnambool and the umpires handled the difficult situation really well," he said.
Kolora-Noorat finished the game without a bench after Nick Hoare (ankle), Ben O'Sullivan (ankle), Harry O'Sullivan and George O'Sullivan (general soreness) were injured during the 30.11 (191) to 5.7 (37) victory.
Walsh said while Hoare could be in doubt for next week's clash with Allansford, Ben, Harry and George would return.
"There was a big emphasis on our intensity and work-rate, because we've struggled with consistency and suffered lapses," he said.
"So we were really pleased with the game."
Walsh also highlighted the performances of youngsters Henry Kenna, Ben Reid (seven goals) and Ed Lee, who played his first senior game for the Power.
