MELBOURNE half-back Bernie Vince has accepted a one-match suspension for a behind-the-ball hit on Nathan Wright in Saturday's clash against St Kilda.
Collingwood speedster Travis Varcoe also accepted a one-match ban after collecting Luke Dahlhaus high in Friday night's match against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG.
In the first Match Review Panel findings for the regular season, Vince and Varcoe were the only players offered suspensions, with five other players handed financial sanctions.
Although Vince's strike was graded low impact, the key Demon could not escape suspension because the MRP deemed it was an intentional hit to the head.
Vince will now be sidelined for Sunday's clash against Carlton at the MCG.

Varcoe was reported on Friday night after running in off the centre square and collecting Dahlhaus in the head with his shoulder in the first quarter.
The incident was graded careless conduct with medium impact to the head, ensuring a one-match ban that will sideline Varcoe for Thursday night's clash against Richmond at the MCG.

Meanwhile, Port Adelaide midfielder Hamish Hartlett has found himself in hot water one week into the season after accruing his second low-level offence.

Harlett, who was fined $1000 during the JLT Community Series for striking Jarryd Roughead, was charged on Monday for a near identical offence, this time on Sydney's Jordan Foote.
He has accepted a $1500 fine for a second strike and will suspended for one match if he commits another low-level offence this season.
Carlton forward Levi Casboult accepted a $1000 fine for his high bump on Tigers midfielder Nick Vlastuin.
The Blues' big man stepped into Vlastuin at a centre bounce contest after the tough Tiger fumbled, moving past the ball and collecting him high and front-on.
