Walters banned, McGovern to challenge

Fremantle star Michael Walters heads a list of three players facing one-game suspensions.

Walters' match-day report for headbutting Melbourne opponent Jay Lockhart was upheld, while Port Adelaide's Dougal Howard was charged with striking, and teammate Karl Amon was suspended for rough conduct.

Also on Monday, West Coast confirmed they will take Jeremy McGovern's one-game rough conduct suspension to Tuesday's tribunal.

McGovern was offered a one-match ban for pushing Essendon’s Matt Guelfi into the Optus Stadium fence on Thursday night.

The star defender was reported for the incident which occurred during the first quarter of the Eagles' win over the Bombers.

Match review officer Michael Christian subsequently assessed the conduct as careless, medium impact and high contact.

Guelfi was taken to hospital via taxi and suffered what the Dons said was "mild concussion".
