PATRICK Dangerfield's dream of successive Brownlow Medals remains alive, at least for now, with Geelong strongly considering challenging his one-match ban at the Tribunal.

The Match Review Panel on Monday charged Dangerfield with rough conduct, assessing his third-quarter tackle on Carlton ruckman Matthew Kreuzer as careless conduct with medium impact to the head. 

The MRP applied a two-match suspension with an early guilty plea reducing it to one game. 

Geelong coach Chris Scott said the club was weighing up whether to contest the suspension.

"We'd prefer it not to drag on and become a huge issue and take our focus off the game that we've got this week against Sydney … but it's just too early for us to make the call," Scott told Fox Footy on Monday night. 

"We need to work through the process a little bit more.

"I think there are grounds to take a little bit more time to consider what we do." 

Scott reiterated Dangerfield's earlier comments that the star midfielder's Brownlow Medal eligibility is only a minor factor in the considerations.

"There's a little bit of a risk that our club and me are too flippant about it," Scott said.

"We want to respect that it's a prestigious award [the Brownlow Medal] and it should form part of our consideration. We always put the team first and we wouldn't let anything override that.

"He [Dangerfield] is just so focused on team success and maybe he won one last year ... that might add a different dimension to it. I am full of admiration for his commitment to the team."

The Cats have until 11am Tuesday to notify the AFL if they will fight the ban.
