Last-term melees spilled over from Swinton's late bump on Jack Donnellan and Preshaw's tackle on Dylan Riley in the 69-point loss to Launceston.
Both incidents led to 50m penalties and were graded by the match review office as rough, intentional conduct with low impact and body contact.
Swinton and Preshaw had one-game bans reduced after filing early guilty pleas.
Fellow Roos Josh Green, Jason Bailey and Ethan Jackson all missed the first-versus-fourth clash through suspension.
The match review office also sent the two Launceston-Clarence melees and a third-term melee in the Glenorchy-North Hobart match to TSL management, who will "provide further correspondence to clubs" this week.
The match review office has reviewed melees in five of the past six rounds of TSL.
