Hawthorn defender Josh Weddle has been handed a three-match suspension, with Gold Coast's Sam Clohesy also facing a rough-conduct ban after a first half of carnage.
Weddle is set to miss against GWS, Melbourne and Carlton after his late hit on Daniel Rioli left the Suns star with a fractured jaw.
Rioli had already disposed of the ball when he copped contact to the jaw from Weddle's shoulder, with Suns coach Damien Hardwick saying the defender will miss "some time".
The incident in the second quarter of Hawthorn's 16-point win at People First Stadium was graded as careless conduct, severe impact and high contact.
Rioli's teammate Clohesy copped a two-match ban for his driving tackle on Hawk Cam Nairn, also during the second quarter.
