A Kalkee player and a Taylors Lake player will both miss one week, after pleading guilty to separate incidents at the tribunal on Wednesday night.
The Kalkee player was reported for an incident in the senior match against Natimuk United. He pleaded guilty to engaging in rough conduct against an opponent which in the circumstances is unreasonable.
He received a two-match ban, with one match suspended until the end of 2020.
Kalkee's under-17s play Noradjuha-Quantong in an elimination final on Sunday.
The Taylors Lake player pleaded guilty to making forceful contact using the head, and was given a one-match suspension.
Taylors Lake faces Harrow-Balmoral in a qualifying final in week two.
The Mail-Times has not named the players because they are underage.
AFL Wimmera-Mallee's Stephen McQueen said both players showed a "great deal" of remorse for the incidents.
