Star Melbourne forward Tayla Harris and teammate Jordan Ivey could miss the Demons' AFLW blockbuster against the Brisbane Lions after the pair were offered one-game bans.

Harris has been cited by the match review officer for a dangerous tackle on St Kilda's Molly McDonald during the Demons' 26-point win on Sunday.

The incident was assessed as careless, medium impact and high contact and the suspension is not able to be downgraded through a guilty plea.

Ivey was booked for rough conduct against the Saints' Rosie Dillon, with the MRO grading the incident in the same way as Harris'.

Harris and Ivey will miss Sunday's possible grand final preview against the Lions at Casey Fields unless they can overturn their bans at the tribunal.

Melbourne played off in last season's grand final, while the Lions have opened this campaign with three dominant, high-scoring wins to have a percentage of more than 400.
