GEELONG premiership player Darren Milburn has had some success at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night, but will miss this week's clash with Melbourne at the MCG.

The match review panel deemed Milburn's contact on Tiger Shane Edwards as high impact, high contact and reckless conduct and suspended him for four matches.

He could have accepted two with an early plea, but it was successfully argued that the contact between the players should be considered, not that which caused Edwards' injury.

Given that Milburn's contact with Edwards was to the body, the jury was instructed by tribunal chairman David Jones to downgrade the contact component of the charge from high, despite Edwards' head being slammed into the ground.

As a result, Jones has recommended the AFL introduces a rule that covers what he described as "a dangerous tackle, a throw tackle or a spear tackle".

The news was better for Carlton's Steven Browne, who was found not guilty of rough conduct against Adelaide's Jason Porplyzia.

The charge, which saw the match review panel offer Browne a four-match penalty or three with an early plea, was thrown out by the jury in a couple of minutes.

Browne gave evidence that he had no idea that a collision was about to occur, until he was hit by Porplyzia, as he was tracking his Crows opponent David Mackay in an attempt to stay goal side of him.

The 19-year-old said after the hearing that he was satisfied with the verdict.

"There was no intent of hitting him or anything. I feel sorry for the bloke but I can't do anything about it," he said.

Porplyzia was left concussed and scans on Monday revealed that he has bruising to the brain.

Earlier on Tuesday, Fremantle's Jeff Farmer accepted a week's ban for striking West Coast's Mark Nicoski, while Carlton's Simon Wiggins and Adelaide's Ivan Maric agreed to $900 fines for wrestling each other.
