Hawthorn ruck-forward Jarryd Roughead and Collingwood captain Nick Maxwell face AFL match review panel scrutiny after Friday night’s rugged qualifying final.

Collingwood key defender Chris Tarrant could also be in trouble for an incident at the start of the MCG clash, which Hawthorn won by 38 points.

Four days after Geelong grudgingly accepted a one-match rough conduct ban for star utility Steve Johnson, Roughead was involved in an incident that was very similar.

Down-the-ground footage posted on the AFL website at halftime showed Roughead bumping Collingwood key forward Chris Dawes well off the ball.

Johnson’s bump on Sydney opponent Dan Hannebery earned him a rough conduct charge and sidelined the Geelong utility for Saturday night’s elimination final against Fremantle.

The Cats made it clear they did not agree with the match review panel finding.

But they risked a two-match ban for Johnson in the finals if they went to tribunal because of his carryover points.

Unlike Johnson, Roughead has a clean record and this will help him if the panel decides to lay a charge on Monday.

Roughead was cleared of a sling tackle on Essendon midfielder Brent Stanton in round 18.

The panel will also closely look at an off-the-ball incident during the third term involving Maxwell and Hawthorn opponent Paul Puopolo.

The pair collided away from the play as the ball was kicked into Hawthorn’s attack.

Puopolo was briefly forced from the field with a blood nose and he repeatedly turned around and pointed angrily in Maxwell’s direction as trainers helped him to the bench.

Like Roughead, Maxwell has a clean record in his favour.

Tarrant had two fierce skirmishes with direct opponent Lance Franklin, one before the first bounce and the second early in the match.

In the second clash, Tarrant appeared to make contact with Franklin’s midriff.

Hawthorn defender Josh Gibson collected Andrew Krakouer with a leg to the midriff as they scrambled for the ball in the goalsquare during the final term.

The panel will look at the contact, but it did not appear significant.
