Brown says he is aware the tribunal is taking a harder stance after being sidelined for four matches for two separate incidents in the loss to Western Bulldogs last month.
And Trengove's three-match penalty on Tuesday night for a slinging tackle on Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield gave Brown further pause for thought.
"When you're out there playing you don't think too much about [being aggressive], but there's been a fair bit spoken about it and I've seen the replay [of my own incident] and it's one of those things the game is changing," Brown said.
"As players, almost week-to-week, we need to adapt to that, whether it be rule changes or the way the tribunal interprets things.
"I am going to have to work at that.
"I will still try and keep that aggressive streak and, as you saw with the Trengove suspension, with tackling and things like that you have to be a lot more cautious these days, especially around the ball and when players have their head over it."
Ironically, Brown's suspension ended up being more costly for him than for the Suns.
He missed playing in their historic first win over Port Adelaide and the shock eight-point victory against Brisbane last Saturday night at the Gabba.
