Hawthorn midfielder James Cousins has been hit with a one-game suspension after collecting Carlton's Sam Petrevski-Seton with an elbow during the Hawks' win over the Blues on Sunday.

According to Match Review Officer Michael Christian, the incident was graded as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.

Cousins will miss the Hawks' clash with Melbourne if he accepts the penalty.

Western Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore ($2000), West Coast defender Tom Cole ($1000) and Adelaide Alex Keath ($1000) were also handed financial sanctions from the weekend's action.

The AFL Tribunal will also sit on Tuesday night, after Richmond forward Jack Riewoldt was handed a $1000 sanction for a 'chicken wing' tackle on Melbourne Bayley Fritsch.
