Ainslie's 14.14 (98) to 5.9 (39) win over Queanbeyan Tigers was tainted by a high-shot on backman Ben Jamison, who failed to return to the game.
Tigers' Jayden Cutts threw an elbow late in the third-quarter and was handed a yellow card for the cheap-shot.
The offence will be investigated and graded by the competition's tribunal next week with Cutts most likely to cop between a three-to-five game suspension.
He was met with another boisterous amount of booing from Tricolours fans as he ran back onto the field in the final quarter while Jamison remained in the change rooms.
Tricolours full-forward Hayden Armstrong says the team wants to move on from this week as they look towards the finals series.

"It's something we want to stay away from as a club," Armstrong said.
"We have finals next week so there's no need to be dealing with that kind of stuff."
Ainslie went on to dominate the match as their forward line proved why they're a force in the league.
Armstrong and former Carlton player Jordan Doering tore apart Queanbeyan's defence and kicked nine goals between them.
Armstrong has now kicked half-a-ton so far this season, while Doering has booted 41.
"We are really clicking at the moment and have a great combination," Armstrong said.
"Everyone wins that hard ball and get it down to the forward line and we're just converting."
The pair will lead the minor premiers into the opening finals fixture against the Belconnen Magpies.
