HAWTHORN will be without James Cousins for its important clash with Melbourne next Saturday, after the young midfielder was slapped with a one-match suspension.

Cousins collected Carlton onballer Sam Petrevski-Seton with a late bump during Sunday's victory in Launceston, with the 21-year-old reported by the field umpire at the time.

The incident, where Cousins led with his forearm, was assessed by Match Review Officer Michael Christian as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.

He will subsequently miss the Hawks' clash with the Demons at the MCG this weekend.

 

It was the only suspension dished out across a quiet weekend for the Match Review.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore was fined $2000 after bumping Fremantle's Michael Walters after a goal had been kicked, with the contact deemed to be to the body.

Meanwhile, West Coast defender Tom Cole was also fined $1000 for misconduct on young forward Gryan Miers following his side's loss to Geelong on Sunday night.

Adelaide's Alex Keath was fined $1000 for making careless contact with an umpire.

Meanwhile, the AFL Tribunal will sit on Tuesday night, with Richmond star Jack Riewoldt set to challenge his $1000 misconduct fine dished out after the Anzac Day Eve clash.

Riewoldt clashed with Melbourne's Bayley Fritsch, catching him in a 'chicken wing' tackle.

The following sanctions have already been accepted:

  • Jake Melksham's $1500 misconduct fine.
  • Toby Nankervis' $2000 striking fine.
  • Jeremy Howe's $2000 rough conduct fine.
  • Taylor Adams' $1000 fine for making careless contact with an umpire.
  • Jasper Pittard's $1500 striking fine.
  • Ben Cunnington's pair of $3000 fines, tallying $6000 total, both for striking.
