Willie Rioli's AFL comeback is set to be put back on hold after the West Coast forward was offered a one-match suspension for his bump on Gold Coast's Matt Rowell.
Rioli returned for the Eagles in round one after serving a two-year ban for doping violations and sparked an emotional celebration when he kicked a booming third-quarter goal.
But Rioli was also involved in a heavy clash with Rowell later in the term as the Suns star reached for a mark.
Rioli left the ground and was a fraction late to the contest, leaving Rowell sore from a collision that was graded careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.
Rowell was not awarded a free kick for the contact and later described it as "fair play, good hit" in a media interview after the Suns' 27-point victory.
But past greats Jason Dunstall, Nick Riewoldt and Garry Lyon are among the expert commentators who have called for Rioli to be hit with a heavier penalty.
"It's so lucky that (Rowell) wasn't KO'd," Hawthorn champion Dunstall told Fox Footy.
"(Rioli) doesn't try to mark the ball at all but he jumps and the hip goes into the head.
"That's dangerous and I personally would've gone with a heavier suspension than that."
Adelaide captain Rory Sloane has also been offered a one-match ban for making contact to the eye region of Fremantle's Blake Acres.
The incident was assessed as intentional conduct, low impact and high contact.
Fremantle's Caleb Serong was hit with a $2000 fine for striking Adelaide's Jordan Dawson, while Gold Coast's Will Powell copped a $1000 fine for tripping West Coast's Jack Petruccelle.
Meanwhile, Brisbane on Monday confirmed they will challenge the one-match suspension handed to Mitch Robinson for forceful front-on contact against Port Adelaide's Xavier Duursma.
The incident was graded as careless conduct, high contact and medium impact.
Duursma suffered a collarbone injury and is no certainty to play in round two.
