GOLD Coast Suns hard man Campbell Brown will miss the rest of this season and Round 1 next year after losing his tribunal appeal.
Brown tonight failed to convince the tribunal jury that his kick to the face of Demon James Strauss was an accident.
The hearing heard Strauss was treated for a 20mm laceration that required four stitches, suffered a broken nose and vomiting after the incident at Metricon Stadium.
The 2008 Hawks premiership backman's three-match penalty was increased to four games after he lost his discount for a guilty plea.
Yesterday the AFL match review panel saw the incident as "a secondary action", reckless conduct with medium impact that forced Strauss to the interchange bench for treatment.
"We believe because he's on his back and does see Strauss there, he does have some knowledge of what he's doing. We don't think he intentionally tried to get him in the face, but he should know by throwing that leg around like that, that it does contact him, then he could be charged," panel chairman Mark Fraser said.
Demons defender Mitch Clisby accepted his three-match ban for rough conduct against Sun Alex Sexton following an AFL investigation.
Clisby had originally indicated his intention to challenge the ban but decided a short time later to accept the saction, which prematurely ends his season.
The youngster and Sexton were involved in an incident that resulted in the Suns rookie suffering a dislocated shoulder and sparked a melee.
Earlier, Essendon pair Dustin Fletcher and Paddy Ryder accepted their two and one-match bans respectively.
Ryder made high contact with a seemingly innocuous bump after Cripps had handballed to teammate Dean Cox. The low-grade offence would normally draw a reprimand, but the Bomber had 68 carryover points from a three-matches rough conduct offence in round 3 this season.
Fletcher - tied with Simon Madden on 378 games - should get to break the Bombers games record but it won't come until at least the last home-and-away round.
Earlier this season it was thought the AFL's oldest active player would almost certainly go on next year.
But the durable defender is now weighing up whether to continue in to his 21st season, with some Bombers watchers unsure.
North Melbourne forward Aaron Black and St Kilda forward Adam Schneider escaped with reprimands for rough conduct, while Hawthorn ace Cyril Rioli was let off for what Fraser described as a potentially dangerous sling tackle on Saint Jarryn Geary.
Rioli's effort drew comparisons to a similar incident which resulted in a three-match suspension for Melbourne co-captain Jack Trengove in 2011 when he took Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield to ground dangerously.
But Fraser said the fact Geary was not concussed like Dangerfield was a significant difference.
"Geary gets up and runs off, so close but not enough force for a report," the MRP chairman said.
