Richmond defender Nick Vlastuin has been offered a one-match sanction for striking Luke Parker during Thursday night's win at Etihad Stadium.

Vlastuin threw his elbow back after being tackled by Parker, and caught the Sydney midfielder high, with the contact judged to be intentional with low impact to the head by the AFL's Match Review Officer.

The 24-year-old can accept the sanction with an early plea, and if he does so, he will miss next Friday night's clash against Adelaide at the MCG.
