Carlton midfielder Adam Cerra has been offered a one-game ban by the AFL's Match Review Officer for striking Geelong's Jack Bowes.

The incident that has earned Cerra the charge occurred in the third quarter of Sunday's win at the MCG, with the MRO grading the incident as intentional conduct, low impact and high contact.

The penalty results in a one-game ban for Cerra, who can choose to challenge the charge at the AFL Tribunal.

An accepted ban would mean Cerra is unavailable for this weekend's clash with Adelaide in South Australia.

Cerra was one of five charged from the game between the Blues and Cats, with teammates George Hewett and Jack Silvagni both charged with making careless contact with an umpire.

Hewett can reduce a $5000 fine to $3125 with an early plea, while Silvagni can lower a $1500 fine to $1000.

Cats forward Jeremy Cameron faces the same fate as Silvagni after receiving the same charge for a separate incident.

Blues forward Lachie Fogarty has been charged with tripping Geelong's Max Holmes, with the MRO grading the attacker's action as intentional conduct, low impact and body contact. Fogarty can reduce a $3000 fine to $2000 with an early plea.

In the Sunday twilight game, West Coast's Liam Baker has been hit with a $1500 fine - reduced to $1000 with an early plea - for 'other misconduct'.

Hawk Jack Ginnivan can reduce a $6250 fine to $3750 with an early plea after being charged with kicking Eagle Jack Graham.
