GREATER Western Sydney's Lachie Whitfield has become the latest player charged with rough conduct under the League's crackdown on dangerous tackles.

Whitfield is facing a one-match ban for his dumping tackle on Fremantle's Jordan Clark, which took some shine off the Giants' 70-point victory on Saturday.

Whitfield pinned Clark's right arm as he slung his opponent to the ground.

OPINION
Six things we learned: Blues' shining light delivers again

He is the 24th player to be cited for rough conduct for a dangerous tackle in 2023, with only three players – Rory Laird, Adam Cerra and Dan Butler last week – being cleared by the Tribunal.

St Kilda defender Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has escaped suspension for striking Richmond's Daniel Rioli.

Wanganeen-Milera caught Rioli with an elbow to his jaw, costing the Saints a down-field free-kick in their 20-point defeat on Saturday night.

The incident was graded as careless conduct, low impact and high contact.

The young Saint can accept a $2000 fine with an early guilty plea.
