Brook was handed a three-match ban for engaging in rough conduct against Wangaratta's Brad Melville during the Roos' clash with the Magpies at John Foord Oval on June 6.
He entered a plea of not guilty, but was found guilty and handed a longer suspension due to his recent poor record.
The incident was referred straight to the tribunal after Brook was banned for two matches on two separate occasions while playing for Southern Districts in the Northern Territory Football League last season.
