COLLINGWOOD has suffered a double blow with star defender Heath Shaw sent to the trinunal for deliberately touching field umpire Michael Vozzo while skipper Nick Maxwell is facing a three-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Geelong's Steve Johnson.
Maxwell can accept a two-match suspension if he pleads guilty but faces a three-match ban if he unsuccessfully challenges the charge, which was ruled as intentional by the match review panel.
Meanwhile, Johnson was charged with pinching Collingwood defender Harry O'Brien but he can accept a $900 fine.
Port Adelaide could be without skipper Domenic Cassisi and star midfielder Peter Burgoyne for their clash against Hawthorn.
Cassisi was charged with a level four striking offence on Melbourne's Lynden Dunn but because of his previous clean record he can accept a one-match ban but faces a two-match suspension if he unsuccessfully challenges at the tribunal on Tuesday night.
Burgoyne was charged with kneeing Melbourne's Aaron Davey but because of the fact he has 93.75 carry-over points already means he was hit with an initial three-match suspension or just two if he pleads guilty and receives the 25 percent discount.
Hawthorn defender Campbell Brown was charged with engaging in rough conduct against North Melbourne midfielder Daniel Wells.
Brown's past record meant he received an extra week. He can accept a two-match suspension or risk a three-match ban by challenging the charge.
St Kilda received some good news with star duo Nick Dal Santo and Justin Koschitzke cleared while Steven King can escape with a reprimand.
King is able to accept a reprimand for striking West Coast forward Ashley Hansen because of his good record while the the striking report against Dal Santo and the contact between Koschitzke and Eagles defender Eric McKenzie were deemed to be incidents below the required impact to constitute a report.
In other tribunal news, St Kilda midfielder Farren Ray was repoted for striking as was Eagles star Daniel Kerr while Sydney's Jarrad McVeigh was also fined for making negligent contact with an umpire.
The match-day report laid against Essendon ruckman David Hille for making contact from front-on against Carlton's Richard Hadley was thrown out as was the match-day report laid against Melbourne's Colin Sylvia for striking Port Adelaide veteran Josh Carr.
