Western Bulldogs midfielder Lachie Hunter and Richmond youngster Jack Graham have both been offered one-week suspensions from match review officer Michael Christian.

Hunter copped his penalty for forcefully shoving Sydney’s Tom Papley into the Etihad Stadium ground while Graham was sanctioned for elbowing Brisbane’s Dayne Zorko in the head.

Meanwhile, fines were dished out to Carlton's Sam Petrevski-Seton ($1500) and Melbourne's Sam Frost ($1500) for misconduct against North Melbourne's Jed Anderson and Hawthorn speedster Isaac Smith respectively.

Graham's teammate Kamdyn McIntosh can accept a $2000 sanction for engaging in rough conduct against Brisbane's Allen Christensen while premiership Swan Dan Hannebery has been offered a $1500 fine for instigating a melee against the Bulldogs.

Elsewhere, West Coast veteran Mark LeCras was cleared of contact with Gold Coast youngster Ben Ainsworth.

Christian deemed that the bump contact made between LeCras’ shoulder and Ainsworth’s chest, with contact also occurring with an accidental head clash, was not unreasonable in circumstances.
