Three players have landed in hot water following the first ever Match Review Panel for the AFLW competition.

Western Bulldog Kirsty Lamb, Fremantle's Ebony Antonio and Melbourne's Richelle Cranston have all been offered one match bans.

Antonio can accept a one-match suspension with an early guilty plea for engaging in rough conduct against the Western Bulldogs' player, Jess Gardner, during the Dockers' loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday.

Lamb can also accept a one-match ban with an early guilty plea after being charged with engaging in rough conduct against Fremantle's Akec Makur Chuot in the second quarter of the same game.

Cranston was charged with front-on contact on Brisbane's Jamie Stanton during the Lions' win over the Demons at Casey Fields on Sunday and can also accept a one-game ban with an early guilty plea.

All three players have until 11am on Tuesday to choose whether or not to contest the findings.
