A WEEK of intense debate about the dangers of bumping has failed to deter five players from risking their immediate footballing futures.
Eagle Mark LeCras was reported on Sunday after he poleaxed young Giant Will Hoskin-Elliott with a flying hit.
The match review panel will also consider the fates of stars Jarryd Roughead, Paul Chapman, Paul Duffield and Liam Jones for incidents across the weekend.
Western Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney yesterday took the unusual step of declaring forward Jones would be suspended for a brutal bump that knocked Demon Dean Terlich out of Saturday night's win over Melbourne.
Demons coach Paul Roos said he was "staggered" the Jones hit didn't result in a free kick for Terlich.
"I'm pretty sure he got hit in the head because he came off concussed and couldn't go back on," Roos said.
"I didn't have that good a look at it other than the fact that I know a player got taken high so surely it's got to be a free kick I would have thought. I'm absolutely staggered."
Coaches across the country have repeatedly warned players against bumping in wake of last week's dramatic Jack Viney case.
Viney was given a two-match ban for breaking Crow Tom Lynch's jaw, but the suspension was quashed after a challenge to the AFL appeals board on the basis Viney was bracing himself, rather than bumping.
Despite that the suspension backflip, the AFL stressed that bump laws remained in place and that players were responsible for injury caused to rivals heads when bumping, regardless of intent.
Collingwood premiership captain Tony Shaw yesterday backed former Cats skipper Tom Harley's assessment of the Roughead hit, saying the Hawks superstar "will get weeks".
Roughead, who has 93 carryover points, looks set to miss the Hawks' top-of-the-table clash against Port Adelaide in a fortnight, joining Brian Lake, Sam Mitchell and Cyril Rioli on the sidelines for the Adelaide Oval blockbuster.
McCartney said he was also preparing to be without Jones for the Dogs' next clash against Gold Coast after the bye.
"I don't think it will be a great result for us, that one," McCartney said on ABC radio.
"That's a pretty easy one. If you decide to bump someone and you hit the hit, well, I don't think there is any greyness in that. I don't think he will be playing next week."
McCartney said the Viney appeal win was the right decision and was adamant players should tackle rather than bump for a variety of reasons.
"The end result is if you are player now and you have a chance to tackle and you don't take it and you decide to bump, you run the risk of getting yourself rubbed out," he said.
"You should tackle.
"It's safer tribunal-wise for you. Safer for everyone out on the ground and you are more likely to get the ball back if you tackle anyway."
However, Richmond great Matthew Richardson said Roughead should be cleared for his high bump on Sydney Swans' midfielder Ben McGlynn.
"I don't agree with how it (the bump rule) is being interpreted," Richardson said on 3AW.
"I think Roughy did everything right. I would like to see (the match review panel) let it go, but it will be called up.
"The ball was there to be won. Roughy looked at the ball, didn't go for the ball, chose to bump and hit McGlynn in the head, so that means he is going to be looked at."
