Robbo tweeted some one died a while ago and that the family was being contacted.

what a [censored]. Wait until it's announced, any one reading that that knew a Brownlow medalist would have freaked out. I'm actually a little surprised he didn't just tweet who it was.

Terrible news. Didn't his son play for us?

Paul Couch's son Tom was recruited by Melbourne in the 2012 Rookie Draft, with pick number 24. He made his senior debut with Melbourne in round 16, 2012, against Fremantle at Docklands Stadium and played 3 games.
 
While playing with the Casey Scorpions in 2012, Couch won the Gardiner Clark Medal as the Scorpions best and fairest. He  also came second in the 2012 Liston Trophy and moved back to Collingwood VFL after he was delisted at the end of 2013.
 
Condolences to Paul Couch's family.

Shocking. Life is short enough as it is.

Reminds you of making every day count when things like this occur.

Always freaks me right out when somebody dies suddenly who is younger than i am

heard him interviewed on radio a couple of times. Came across as a really decent bloke. 

The '89 GF is still the best game of Footy i have watched as a pure game. Has everything & Couchy was right in the middle of it wearing The Brownlow...

Very sad for his family

Amazing how this happens at a young age to some who have had a period of incredible fitness 

Can any physiologists / medics explain?  Can it be prevented?

Poor Couchy  was a garbo, then a car salesman,  then ran for parliament for The National Party.

You couldn't accuse him of being a socail climber.

One of the good guys. Very fond memories of him running around for the cattery. 

Getting sick of these stars being taken prematurely.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
