The Western Bulldogs will be without Matthew Boyd and Jack Redpath for Sunday's AFL clash against Greater Western Sydney after the pair copped suspensions.
The AFL tribunal will not sit on Tuesday night after the Bulldogs duo and Melbourne defender Neville Jetta all accepted one-game suspensions, with Demons forward Cameron Pedersen and Hawthorn's Taylor Duryea accepting fines.
The losses of Boyd and Redpath are a blow for the injury-depleted Dogs, currently fifth on the AFL ladder, as they attempt to defeat the third-placed Giants at Spotless Stadium.
Boyd was charged with striking Tomas Bugg in the Bulldogs' 32-point win over Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the head by the AFL's match review panel, with Boyd risking a two-match ban if he had unsuccessfully challenged the finding at the tribunal.
Redpath was charged with kneeing Demons forward Ben Kennedy and also risked a two-game suspension if he challenged and failed.
Jetta was charged with striking Marcus Bontempelli and will miss Melbourne's clash against Brisbane at the MCG on Sunday.
Bernie Vince's match day report for engaging in rough conduct against Bulldogs' midfielder Mitch Wallis was withdrawn, while contact between Port Adelaide's Hamish Hartlett and Carlton's Patrick Cripps was assessed with no further action taken.
