CARLTON star Charlie Curnow and Gold Coast co-captain Steven May will both serve a week on the sidelines after a spiteful clash at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.

Curnow caught May after he had kicked the footy, striking him in the jaw with a raised forearm. May played out the game, but it didn't save Curnow from a one-match suspension.

WATCH Charlie catches May high

Match Review Officer Michael Christian graded the incident as intentional conduct, with low impact to the head, meaning Curnow will miss Carlton's clash with GWS on Sunday if he accepts.

May soon extracted his revenge on Charlie's brother, Ed, colliding heavily with the Blues midfielder in the dying stages of the game with a late bump that caught him high.

The incident was graded as careless conduct, with medium impact to the head. It means May will miss Gold Coast's game against Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday if he accepts the ban.

Carlton gun Patrick Cripps is still eligible for the Brownlow Medal, cleared of any wrongdoing after his tackle left Gold Coast midfielder David Swallow dazed.

Cripps' momentum led to Swallow hitting his head on the turf, with the Suns midfielder suffering a nasty concussion that left him light on his feet and forced him out of the match.

"The first thing to note is that while Patrick Cripps wraps his right arm around David Swallow, his left arm is trying to contest the ball," Christian said.

"His arms weren't pinned, so the question was 'did he drive Swallow into the ground with excessive force?' We didn't believe that was the case.

"He got to the side of Swallow, both players actually got hands down to try and break their fall, it was just an unfortunate accident."

In other incidents over the weekend, Adelaide defender Kyle Cheney was slapped with a one-game suspension for rough conduct on Melbourne utility Bayley Fritsch.

The incident, which saw Cheney collect an unawares Fritsch off the ball, was graded as intentional, with low impact to the head.

Port Adelaide's Steven Motlop was fined $3000 for two separate misconduct incidents, while teammate Tom Rockliff also earned a $1500 misconduct fine during the same game.

Brisbane's Mitch Robinson was fined $3000 for rough conduct on Patrick Dangerfield, while West Coast's Willie Rioli earned a $2000 fine for striking Ben Cunnington.

Sydney defender Zak Jones had already accepted a two-match ban for rough conduct on Essendon's Kyle Langford, as well as a $1500 fine for misconduct on Zach Merrett.

Devon Smith had also accepted a $1000 fine for attempting to trip Luke Parker.
