COLLINGWOOD skipper Nick Maxwell will miss the club's next two matches against Brisbane and Essendon after accepting a two-match ban for rough conduct.
Maxwell was charged with rough conduct against Geelong forward Steve Johnson in the second quarter of Thursday's 27-point loss and because of his previous poor record he could not reduce the two-match sanction with an early plea.
Port Adelaide will be without skipper Domenic Cassisi and star midfielder Peter Burgoyne after the pair accepted their one and two-match bans respectively.
Cassisi was suspended for striking Melbourne's Lynden Dunn while Burgoyne will miss Port's match against Hawthorn and St Kilda after kneeing Aaron Davey .
Only two players will appear before the tribunal on Tuesday night with Collingwood defender Heath Shaw facing a charge of intentionally making contact with umpire Michael Vozzo, while Hawthorn's Campbell Brown will challenge a rough conduct charge.
Shaw was referred directly to the tribunal for his contact with Vozzo in the second quarter of Thursday's clash with the Cats, while Brown will be risking a three-match ban for rough conduct on North Melbourne midfielder Daniel Wells.
In other tribunal news, Geelong's Johnson, St Kilda's Farren Ray and star West Coast midfielder Daniel Kerr each accepted $900 fines for minor offences, while Saints ruckman Steven King accepted a reprimand and 70.31 points towards his future record for striking Ashley Hansen.
Sydney midfielder Jarrad McVeigh accepted a $2850 fine for negligently making contact with umpire Stephen McBurney in Saturday's 33-point loss to Brisbane at the Gabba.
