CARLTON forward Levi Casboult faces a nervous wait on Monday as the Match Review Panel weighs up whether the latest "tummy tap" is worth a suspension or financial sanction.

Essendon midfielder David Zaharakis became the first player suspended for a punch to the body last week, following 15 fines for similar offences, and it will be intriguing to see if the MRP is equally harsh on Casboult.

The Carlton tall blatantly struck opponent Kyle Hartigan in the stomach during Sunday's clash against Adelaide at the MCG, with the Crows defender keeling over in pain.

He was reported by umpire Curtis Deboy and the strike will be analysed by the MRP when it convenes on Monday at AFL House.

Was Zacka stiff? How the tummy taps compare

The test for the panel, which would argue its view of tummy taps has not changed this season, will be whether it views the strike as low or medium impact.

The justification for grading Zaharakis's strike on Eagle Jackson Nelson as medium impact – and suspending him for one match – was that Nelson had to be assisted from the ground, was off the ground for some period of play and had an adverse medical report.

In Casboult's case, Hartigan stayed down for a significant period of time but did not leave the game. Once more, the medical report looks likely to play a key role in the verdict.

Also reported in round 16 was St Kilda's Seb Ross, but the midfielder should escape any sanction after replays showed he made no contact to the head of Essendon's Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti.

Fremantle youngster Lachie Weller, however, could be in trouble for a bump on Melbourne speedster Jayden Hunt in Saturday night's clash in Darwin.

Hunt had his head over the ball and was taking possession when Weller chose to bump him and made high contact.

A grading of careless conduct with medium impact to the head would see Weller suspended for one match with an early guilty plea.

West Coast ruckman Scott Lycett will also be scrutinised for his high bump on North Melbourne's Jack Ziebell in Sunday's clash at Domain Stadium.

Lycett cannoned into Ziebell, who didn't have the ball, and made contact to the midfielder's head with his shoulder.

The ruckman will almost certainly be suspended for the second time this season, with a grading of careless conduct with medium impact to the head resulting in a one-match ban.

Lycett would also then be carrying a bad record for the next two years following his one-match ban for striking Richmond's Ty Vickery in round four.
