Carlton defender Nic Newman is facing a nervous wait to see if he will be sanctioned for elbowing Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale.

Newman is certain to come under scrutiny after making contact to Neale's chin during the Blues' 26-point loss at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.

The 2020 Brownlow medallist was given a free kick for the incident during the third quarter, with Lions players remonstrating with Newman.

A Lions player was overheard on the broadcast describing the hit as a "dog shot".

The incident could be graded intentional conduct with low impact and high contact, which would result in a one-match ban for Newman.

If he is unavailable it would be a major blow for the Blues who face a crunch game against the Western Bulldogs next Saturday night.

Former Hawthorn champion Jordan Lewis believes a one-match suspension for Newman would be "correct".

But Lions legend Jonathan Brown said Newman should challenge at the tribunal if he is given a ban.

"I think he should fight it. I think it's nothing more than a glorified push," Brown told Fox Footy.

"He wasn't helped by Lachie Neale, who went to the ground reasonably easy, I would've thought.

"I think I'd certainly be looking closer at that if I was Carlton."
