Cottrell had just fumbled the ball and kept running forward to collect it when Harmes came in and bumped him from the opposite direction.
AFL match review officer Michael Christian graded the rough conduct charge as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact, drawing a one-match ban.
It means Harmes will miss the King's Birthday clash with Collingwood unless he can successfully overturn the suspension.
Collingwood star Jordan De Goey is also set to miss the match after unleashing a devastating high bump on young Eagle Elijah Hewett in Perth on Saturday.
De Goey is expected to be suspended for multiple weeks for the late bump that concussed Hewett.
