RICHMOND'S Brett Deledio and Gold Coast's Matt Shaw both face one-match bans after the Match Review Panel's look at the first eight games of round one.
However, Giant Tomas Bugg is clear to play next week after the MRP found his collision with St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt was not unreasonable.
Deledio was charged with engaging in rough conduct against Carlton's Simon White, Carlton, in the opening minute of Thursday's night match.
It was classified as careless contact with medium impact to the head, which drew a two-week ban, but Deledio can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

Shaw was charged with rough conduct against Demon Dean Kent during the first quarter on Saturday's clash.
In summary, he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.
The incident was also classified as careless conduct with medium impact to the head, drawing a two-week penalty.
As with Deledio, an early plea can reduce the penalty to a one-match sanction.

Collingwood's Jamie Elliott was charged with tripping Lion Lewis Taylor in the last quarter at the Gabba on Saturday night. He can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.
Fremantle's Zac Clarke was charged with tripping Port Adelaide's Jared Polec during the second quarter at Domain Stadium on Sunday. He, too, can accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.
Power midfielder Brad Ebert was charged with tripping Fremantle's Cameron Sutcliffe, and can also accept a $1000 sanction with an early plea.
Port's Tom Jonas was charged with striking Fremantle's Chris Mayne during the third quarter. The incident was classified as intentional conduct with low impact to the body, drawing a $1500 fine, which is reduced to $1000 by an early guilty plea.
The panel reviewed all available vision of the Bugg-Riewoldt incident, including a reverse angle shot down the ground.
The ball was close to the boundary line with St Kilda’s Ahmed Saad under pressure from an opponent. Saad, who was being tackled, handballed the ball back towards teammates Josh Bruce and Riewoldt.
Bruce took possession of the ball while Riewoldt stepped back into the path of the oncoming Bugg.
Bugg made contact to Riewoldt's back front-on, and not with a bumping action.
It was the view of the panel that while Riewoldt would have earned a free kick for in the back if the contact had been seen by the umpire, Bugg’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.
An injury scare for Nick Riewoldt but he's back up on his feet and walking off the ground #AFLSaintsGiants http://t.co/JQ6cJpJ9Jt
