Magpie facing ban ahead of AFLW finals

Collingwood are set to be without Sophie Casey for their AFLW qualifying final against Brisbane after the defender was offered a one-match suspension for forceful front-on contact.

The Magpies received mixed news when the match review findings were announced late on Monday, with Jordyn Allen able to accept a reprimand for striking Richmond's Emilia Yassir.

The off-the-ball strike was graded intentional conduct, low impact and body contact.

It leaves Allen free to play against the Lions at the Gabba on Saturday.

But Casey's bump that connected with Tiger Tayla Stahl's head drew a more severe penalty when it was graded careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.

Casey has the option to reject the early guilty plea offer and challenge the suspension.

Adelaide's Eloise Jones could miss her side's preliminary final next week after being offered a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on St Kilda's Tilly Lucas-Rodd.

Crows teammate Rachelle Martin escaped with a $400 fine for her dangerous tackle on Nicola Xenos, while the Saints' Kate McCarthy was offered a one-match ban for rough conduct against Justine Mules.

Melbourne pair Kate Hore and Gabrielle Colvin were charged with rough conduct in separate incidents but both escaped with a reprimand ahead of their preliminary final next week.

Carlton's Madeline Guerin also received a reprimand for forceful front-on contact against Colvin.
