Kyle Cheney has been offered a one-match suspension for rough conduct against Melbourne forward Bayley Fritsch.

The incident occurred during the second quarter of Adelaide's loss to the Demons at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.

Based on available evidence and a medical report from the Melbourne Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the head.

Cheney is able to accept a one-match sanction without appearing before the Tribunal and will miss Saturday's Showdown against Port Adelaide if he accepts the ban.
