Essendon ruckman David Hille has also been cited for engaging in rough conduct against Carlton’s Mitch Robinson during the Bombers’ big loss to the Blues at the MCG on Friday night.
Hille faces a one-game suspension, after the MRP declared he made negligent and high contact with Robinson when they clashed during the first quarter, but he can accept a reprimand with an early guilty plea.
Patfull has been charged with engaging in rough conduct against West Coast’s Brett Jones, during the third quarter of the Lions’ narrow win at Subiaco Oval.
While the offence has attracted 325 points and a three-match sanction, after being classed as high impact and high on the body, Patfull can escape with a two-game ban if he lodges an early guilty plea.
Guerra has been booked for engaging in rough conduct against Nick Malceski of the Sydney Swans, during the third quarter of the Hawks’ disappointing performance at the SCG on Saturday.
The incident was deemed to be reckless and high, although Guerra can have his suspension reduced to one week if he accepts an early guilty plea.
Swans onballer Kieren Jack (rough conduct), West Coast big man Quinten Lynch (kneeing) and young Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Roughead (rough conduct) have also been cited for incidents over the weekend.
While they all face one-game bans, they have the option to take reprimands with early guilty pleas.
Meanwhile, the panel viewed the incident in which Collingwood midfielder Sharrod Wellingham made contact with umpire Shane McInerney at three-quarter time on Saturday night.
It was the view of the panel that Wellingham was explaining a tackling situation to the umpire, so no further action was taken.
An incident involving Hawthorn's Luke Hodge - one of the favourites for the Brownlow Medal - and Sydney Swan Adam Goodes was also scrutinised.
Hodge appeared to hit Goodes high during the second term, but the panel said the action was seen as a tackling motion and was not a striking action.
