BROWNLOW Medal favourite Patrick Dangerfield believes he will be cleared by the Match Review Panel over the tackle that left Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer concussed on Saturday night.

However, the Cats superstar concedes that the decision is not his to make.

Speaking on Channel Seven on Sunday, Dangerfield said, "I don't see an issue, but it's not up to me."

The 27-year-old will come under scrutiny from the MRP on Monday for his third-quarter tackle that left the Blue unable to return for the remainder of the match.

ANALYSIS: Danger case out of the box

Dangerfield appeared to be blindsided when the ball spilled loose and he followed through with his tackle, driving Kreuzer into the ground while the Carlton ruckman's arms were pinned.

Dangerfield said he laid "a fair tackle" and was unaware the ball had spilled out of the contest.

"I actually thought he still had the ball, so that's why I've turned around and put my hands in the air (to appeal for a free kick).

"I haven't been cited for anything. I felt it was a fair tackle, there was no umpire's call at the time so I don't see an issue with it, but it's not up to me.

"I didn't even know it was an issue until I walked off the ground. Obviously we do media after the game, then I was briefed on it and said, 'I don't know what you are talking about'.

"Then they played me the vision. I said, 'I don't see an issue with it at all'.

"It wasn't paid a free kick at the time, but like I said, we will have to wait to see how it plays out."

In the lead-up to the game, Dangerfield was joint favourite with Richmond's Dustin Martin to win his second successive Brownlow.

Kreuzer slowly got to his feet after the heavy tackle and went to the rooms, where he failed the routine concussion assessment.

After the 65-point win over the Blues, Geelong coach Chris Scott hoped common sense would prevail.

He added the incident should not be based on the extent of Kreuzer's injury.

"(It) wasn't a sling, that's for sure, don't think he deliberately drove him into the ground, so on that basis, and based on what we've seen the last couple of years, I would expect that would be fine," Scott said.

"Now when a player's hurt and goes off the ground, there's an extra dimension there that attracts scrutiny, but I think the powers that be have been very clear that the severity of any injury only comes into play once you've acknowledged that there's been a breach of the rules, and I just don't see that when I watch it.

"But, I've got my Geelong scarf on, don't I?"
