West Coast captain Liam Duggan has been offered a two-game suspension for his rough conduct charge on Adelaide key forward Riley Thilthorpe.
The Match Review Officer (MRO) caught Duggan's incident during the third quarter, which was graded as careless conduct, high impact and high contact.
The Eagles skipper was seen bypassing the ball and hitting Thilthorpe's jaw, which resulted in him coming off the ground and being assessed.

The Crows forward managed to play out the game after the Head Injury Assessment (HIA).
If Duggan accepts the penalty, he'll miss the remainder of West Coast's 2025 season, clashes against the Western Bulldogs and Sydney.
For an incident in the same quarter, Adelaide defender Rory Laird was offered a one-match ban for his rough conduct charge on West Coast forward Jamie Cripps.
The MRO graded the incident as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.
Laird could miss Saturday's blockbuster clash against Collingwood at the Adelaide Oval.
