Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin is facing a one-match ban after he gut-punched West Coast's Connor West in the Tigers' 35-point AFL win on Sunday.

Vlastuin's strike during the fourth quarter has been assessed as intentional conduct and high contact, with even an early guilty plea to bring a one-game suspension.

He wasn't the only player from that clash cited, with Richmond ruckman Ivan Soldo offered a $2000 fine for tripping Zane Trew and another $1000 fine for wrestling Nic Naitanui.

Naitanui was also offered a $1000 fine for wrestling Soldo.

Hawthorn's Will Day can accept a one-game suspension after being charged with forceful front-on contact on GWS' Josh Kelly.

The incident was ruled as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, meaning he'll miss a week even with an early guilty plea.

Port Adelaide's Tom Jonas was offered a $2000 fine for rough conduct on James Aish, while Fremantle's Caleb Serong was offered a $3000 fine for a dangerous tackle on Connor Rozee.
