Saints' White cops one-match ban in AFLW

St Kilda utility Tarni White will miss Saturday's bottom-of-the-table clash with Carlton after receiving a one-match AFLW ban for a dangerous tackle.

White was charged with rough conduct for her tackle on Brisbane's Sophie Conway during the Saints' five-point loss on Sunday.

The incident was assessed as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, drawing a one-match ban as a first offence.

There was better news for St Kilda's Nicola Xenos, who escaped with a reprimand for her dangerous tackle on Belle Dawes.

St Kilda are last on the table with a 0-5 record, while Carlton have posted just one win from their six games.

Geelong's Sophie Van De Heuvel was handed a reprimand for her forceful front-on contact on Gold Coast's Vivien Saad.

Collingwood's Ebony O'Dea was charged with engaging in rough conduct against West Coast's Emma Swanson, but she can accept a reprimand with an early guilty plea.
