IMPORTANT North Melbourne forward Jarrad Waite is likely to come under scrutiny by Match Review Officer Michael Christian for a late bump that collected Western Bulldogs big man Jackson Trengove in the head on Sunday afternoon at Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile, Bulldogs key defender Zaine Cordy has been sent to hospital after hurting his right cheekbone in a marking contest against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Trengove marked the football on a wing when he was hit high by Waite's upper arm or shoulder.

The Kangaroo jumped before contact was made.

The umpire awarded a free kick, and Trengove appeared uninjured.

This was Waite's second game back from a persistent calf concern that has limited him to 10 matches this season.

The 35-year-old is out of contract at season's end.

Cordy was injured in the second term and came off under the blood rule.
