The ferocious opening round of the AFL Women's competition has resulted in three players being offered one-match suspensions.
Melbourne's Richelle Cranston, Fremantle defender Ebony Antonio and Western Bulldog Kirsty Lamb will have their season cut slightly shorter should they accept the bans by making early guilty pleas.
All three players will risk two-game suspensions by challenging the bans at the tribunal.
The trio on Monday came under the scrutiny of the match review panel set up to oversee the women's season.
