A host of big names feel the Match Review Panel's wrath after round 16
FREMANTLE captain Matthew Pavlich and Sydney Swans forward Ben McGlynn are both facing three-match suspensions after the Match Review Panel's scrutiny of round 16.
Hawthorn's Shaun Burgoyne, West Coast's Andrew Embley, Geelong's Steve Johnson and Port Adelaide's Kane Cornes are also facing a stint on the sidelines.
Burgoyne and Embley have been offered two-game bans, while Johnson has been offered one match for kneeing Melbourne's Nathan Jones.
However, Hawk Jordan Lewis can escape with a reprimand after being booked for striking Port midfielder Chad Wingard.
Gold Coast defender Tom Murphy is also free to play this weekend after the match-day report laid against him for kneeing Richmond's Ricky Petterd was thrown out.
The incident was assessed as negligent conduct, high impact and high contact.
When Embley's carryover points from his suspension in round 13 for kneeing Hawthorn's Ben Stratton were taken into account, he faced a total of 393.85 points, which is just short of a four-match suspension.
But if he pleads guilty, he can bring the tally under the 300-point threshold and escape with a two-match ban.
Johnson was charged with misconduct after being cited for kneeing Jones during the second quarter of Saturday's game at Simonds Stadium.
The incident was assessed as reckless conduct, low impact and body contact.
The initial penalty was a one-match suspension, although this was increased to two when Johnson's carryover points and loading for his poor recent record were taken into account.
If Johnson pleads guilty, he will be suspended for one week and head into the remainder of the season with 71.78 carryover points hanging over his head.
Cornes is facing a one-match suspension after being booked for rough conduct against Hawthorn star Sam Mitchell.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct, low impact and body contact.
His initial penalty was a two-match suspension, but he can have it reduced to one by pleading guilty.
