Midfieder Darcy Tucker has been charged with rough conduct following an incident in Fremantle's clash with Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.

The incident involved Essendon's Zach Merrett and was graded as intentional with low impact and body contact.

As this is a second offence, it is a $5000 sanction which can be downgraded to $3000 with an early plea.

UPDATE: Tucker has accepted the charge and will be fined $3000.
