Match review officer Michael Christian's ruling on Williams' contact on Western Bulldog Ed Richards could set a season-long precedent for high bumps.
Williams was reported on the spot.
Christian graded his contact on the Bulldogs utility as careless with high impact and high contact, resulting in a two-match suspension.
Adelaide midfielder Crouch was charged with rough conduct after a block which stunned Melbourne onballer Clayton Oliver in their Saturday fixture.
Crouch was offered a $3000 fine, reduced to $2000 with an early guilty plea, with Christian ruling it was careless conduct with low impact.
