Collingwood wingman Travis Varcoe has been offered a one-match suspension by the AFL's Match Review Panel.

Varcoe, a veteran of 178 games, was booked for a collision with Western Bulldog Luke Dahlhaus during the opening quarter of the club's season opener on Friday night.

He can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.

The Match Review Panel assessed Varcoe's incident as involving careless conduct with medium impact to the head

The incident was classified as a two-match sanction.

Varcoe has no applicable record which impacts the penalty, and an early plea enables the player to accept a one-match sanction.




Travis Varcoe may miss Collingwood's clash with Richmond on Thursday night after being offered a one-game ban.
