Port Adelaide youngster Matt Thomas' report for a dangerous tackle on Adelaide's Nathan Bassett is unlikely to be the only incident assessed from Sunday night's AFL match at AAMI Stadium.

Power ruckman Dean Brogan should also come under scrutiny for high contact that left Luke Jericho flat on the stadium turf minutes after Bassett had been stretchered off, while defender Michael Pettigrew also made high contact on midfielder Scott Thompson later in the game.

Port's players had clearly been driven to new levels of physicality by a week where their attack on both ball and man had been severely questioned, and the Crows often felt that force despite winning out by six points.

Crows coach Neil Craig said he had no personal qualms about Port's approach, but admitted several incidents would need to be looked at.

"I haven't got any issues," he said.

"I haven't seen the game obviously in the situations which will be possibly looked at, but we've got a system in place that looks after that."

Power coach Mark Williams was a little nonplussed to be answering questions about his players' use of bumps the week after they had been widely derided as "soft".

"One week we get told off for not doing bumps the next week we get told off for doing too many," Williams said of the physical nature of the contest.

"As far as I was concerned it was terrific footy."

St Kilda dual Brownlow medallist Robert Harvey, meanwhile, could come under scrutiny from the AFL's match review panel after being accused of grabbing Western Bulldogs star Jason Akermanis's testicles.

No report was made during Friday night's match at Telstra Dome.

But the panel is expected to look into the incident, given Akermanis complained to the officiating umpire at the time that he had been grabbed in the "nuts".

Helping the respected 362-game veteran's case, though, is the fact that television footage of the incident was inconclusive.

Richmond forward Kayne Pettifer was booked for allegedly striking Collingwood's Nick Maxwell in the second quarter of their match at the MCG.

Pettifer appeared to connect to the Magpie's head with his forearm.

Hawthorn midfielder Jordan Lewis will also be a subject of the panel's attention for an incident involving North Melbourne's Daniel Pratt in Sunday's match at Telstra Dome.

Lewis appeared to make contact with his left arm to the midriff of Pratt in an off-the-ball incident during the first quarter of Sunday's match.

The blow left Pratt lying on his back for some time and a free kick was awarded, although no report was laid on the day.

Lewis admitted he would be waiting on the outcome of the panel's review on Monday, although he defended his actions.

"I obviously can't say too much about it but I obviously think there's nothing in it," Lewis told the Nine Network.

"The umpire was standing right there and he didn't report me ... maybe we'll hear something tomorrow or the next day."

Lewis was playing his first game back from suspension, after being hit with a two-match ban for striking the `Roos' Brent Harvey in last year's finals series.

An incident involving West Coast star midfielder Daniel Kerr from the derby against Fremantle at Subiaco could also be looked at.

Television footage showed Kerr running past Fremantle youngster Rhys Palmer, with the Docker's head appearing to move back, although it was unclear from the footage whether Kerr connected with Palmer's chin.
