Essendon's equal games record-holder Dustin Fletcher has been offered a two-match ban by the AFL's match review panel on a rough conduct charge.
The 38-year-old defender, who has matched former ruckman Simon Madden's mark of 378 games for the Bombers, was charged on Monday following a clash with West Coast's Jamie Cripps during the last quarter of Sunday's game at Etihad Stadium.
Essendon's Patrick Ryder has been offered a one-match suspension for engaging in rough conduct against Cripps.
The seventh-placed Bombers face North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Gold Coast's Campbell Brown can accept a three-game ban for unreasonable contact with his boot to the face of Melbourne's James Strauss during Saturday night's game at Metricon Stadium.
St Kilda's Adam Schneider has been offered a reprimand for engaging in rough conduct against Hawthorn's Brent Guerra in Friday's game at Etihad Stadium.
North Melbourne forward Aaron Black can also accept a reprimand for engaging in rough conduct against Adelaide's Rory Laird.
A tackle from Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli on St Kilda's Jarryn Geary was deemed to be below that required to constitute a report.
Essendon have dropped from second to seventh with three successive defeats amid the strain of the on-going ASADA investigation into last year's supplements program at the club.
The Bombers may face the loss of premiership points, depending on the outcome of the investigation, which could mean their campaign is over after the home-and-away season which has three rounds remaining.
If Fletcher plays on into his 22nd season in 2014 he could join Michael Tuck (426) and Kevin Bartlett (403) in the league's 400-game club.
The tall defender sits equal-fourth on the all-time list alongside Madden (378), trailing Robert Harvey (383).
Fletcher's bump was assessed as reckless conduct, medium impact and high contact, drawing 325 demerit points for a level-three offence.
An early plea would reduce the sanction to 243.75 points.
A tackle by Port Adelaide's Jackson Trengove against Geelong's Mitch Duncan during the first quarter of Saturday's game at Simonds Stadium was assessed as not reportable.
The panel found Duncan, who was knocked out in the incident, attempted to sprint through a congested area and Trengove's actions were not unreasonable.
The panel said one matter from the weekend's round of matches remained outstanding.
Melbourne's Mitch Clisby was offered a three-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Gold Coast's Alex Sexton.
