The AFL's Match Review Officer is likely to assess a pair of incidents from Sunday's match between Port Adelaide and Melbourne, with players from both sides potentially facing charges of rough conduct.
An incident in the second quarter involving Power player Joe Richards and Demons defender Jdd McVee is likely to see the latter face a nervous wait for his bump on Richards.
Immediately after Richards disposed of possession, McVee opted against contesting the ball and instead moved into a clenched position before making contact with his opponent high.
"It's a week for me."

The collision floored Richards, who was able to get to his feet and continue in the match.
McVee's actions are likely to earn the ire of the MRO, who could most likely charge the Melbourne backman with rough conduct.
Gradings of high contact and careless conduct are most likely, with the level of the impact grading to decide the penalty.
A 'low' grading would result in a fine for McVee, making him available for the Round 16 match against Gold Coast, with the Demons scheduled for a bye this week.
A 'medium' grading would see McVee handed a one-game suspension, meaning he wouldn't be free to play until Round 17 when Melbourne come up against Adelaide in a return to South Australia.
Meanwhile, Port Adelaide star Zak Butters could also be handed a rough conduct charge for his collision with Kysaiah Pickett prior to half-time.
Butters collected Pickett high in an awkward motion as both players were on the move around a ruck stoppage.
Pickett was awarded a free kick and underwent a head injury assessment, which he passed.
Butters could be fined for his actions, which may be graded as careless conduct, low impact and high contact if the MRO deems the incident as a reportable offence.
The MRO's findings from Sunday's contests will be handed down on Monday evening.
