The chest area will be treated the same as the head and groin in the new NAB AFL Women's competition, but players will not face fines as penalties for on-field indiscretions.
The League is working to finalise all the rules and regulations for the new AFLW ahead its historic season opener on February 3.
Players facing scrutiny for on-field misdemeanors will face the same Match Review Panel and Tribunal process as the men's competition.
However, there are two major differences.
Because players are part-time and on smaller salaries than the men in their debut season, they'll instead receive reprimands that may accumulate towards suspensions if there are further offences.
The sensitivity of the chest area is also taken into account, and will be classed as 'high' or 'sacrosanct' just like the head and groin is with men's MRP matters.
Late last year, AFLW boss Simon Lethlean told AFL.com.au planning was underway to deal with on-field incidents in the new elite competition.
"You expect there to be incidents, with clashes and whatever else, I'm not sure about the biff," Lethlean said.
"They're competitive these women, they're the best athletes in their game and they have a big crack, so I imagine that the MRP will have some things to look at."
With every AFLW game set to be televised, there'll be plenty of camera angles for the MRP to review.
Members of the women's MRP are expected to be confirmed in the coming week.
