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.
Pavlich, who only recently returned to the Dockers' line-up after a long stint out due to a foot injury, was cited for the front-on bump that he laid on Eagles defender Mitch Brown during the third quarter of Sunday's Western Derby.
The panel graded the incident as reckless conduct, medium impact and high contact.
When Pavlich's 93.75 carryover points were taken into account, the total reached 493.75, which is just shy of a five-week suspension.
But if he lodges an early guilty plea, the 25 per cent discount will mean he misses three matches.
McGlynn was cited for striking Greater Western Sydney midfielder Tom Scully, who had to be subbed out of the game after suffering concussion in the incident.
The panel graded McGlynn's conduct as intentional, high impact and high on the body.
His initial penalty was a four-match suspension, although he can have it reduced to three if he pleads guilty.
Burgoyne was cited for bumping Port Adelaide's Tom Logan during the Hawks' win over the Power at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.
The panel graded the incident as negligent conduct, high impact and high contact.
His initial penalty was a three-match suspension, but he can reduce it to two by pleading guilty.
Embley has been charged with rough conduct after laying a high bump on Fremantle's Clancee Pearce.
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.
