Roughead's contact was assessed as negligent, low impact and high contact, but with his previous carry-over points, an early guilty plea will still see him miss a week.
The Hawks have until 11am tomorrow to decide whether they'll appeal the ban.
Hawthorn will also be without star forward Cyril Rioli, who faces up to a month on the sideline after injuring his hamstring against Sydney on Friday night.
Meanwhile, Paul Duffield has been offered a reprimand for a high bump on Chad Wingard.
Duffield caught Wingard high after his disposal in the second quarter, but his good record means he can accept a reprimand and 70 points to his future record with an early guilty plea.
