Did anyone notice this comment by Cotchin. 

"Cotchin fired an extra shot later on, noting the fatigued Dees got too caught up in attempting to make their presence felt, rather than focusing on the game at hand...“For whatever reason, the momentum swung after that moment,” Cotchin said on Triple M Radio...“It seemed as though they were worried about fighting rather than winning the footy.”

Arrogant sod!  A few wins against weak or decimated teams and they get all cocky.  Can't wait to see them brought down a few pegs.

Wasn't Cotchin the one cited for inciting the melee from the start? Arrogant [censored]. If both teams make finals, I hope we play them first week and knock em out (obviously a long way to go before that!).

The best way to watch the replay of this game is just to watch all our goals and forget that Richmond won...

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2017-04-26/rd-5-all-the-goals

Some of the goals were awesome:

- Watts' shimmy and spin and left foot delivery to Salem who goaled

- Petracca bullocking through Melksham to hit Jeffy in the forward 50... gold!

- Salem's quick hands to Hunt who was coming through at full pace to goal from 50

- Then Clarry's monster double hard ball gets to give to Jeffy for another goal from 50

Loved these goals too.

When Hunt got that ball, we all went "Hunty!", then there was a slight pause as he steamed forward. He goaled and we were up on our feet again. "HUNTTTTTTTY!" It reminded me of the Adelaide supporters whenever Eddie Betts goes near it.

Not sure who started it.  But somehow he got the free for what, who knows..

Someone rang SEN yesterday about the incident saying Reiwoldt and Prestia who were on the bench at the time, were holding Viney (Cotchin's opponent at the time) down and wrestling, stopping him going after Cotchin and as we know the play ended in a goal.  And as Cotchin said it changed the coures of the game. 

Both Wallace and Bartlett agreed they were on the bench and were surprised no action was taken as they thought it was illegal.  I think they were going to follow up the rules. 

Hope the club complained to the umpiring department about it.

The incident aside, I do think our players need to stop getting taunted into aggressive behaviour and still play on the edge. 

Edit:  @Pates  Checked the MRP report and yes Cotchin was charged with instigating the melee.  That makes the free to him all the more baffling.  It makes his gloating about the incident after the game even more unpalatable.

This is the first thing my brother started yelling out when the melee started, LH. I think Riewoldt actually entered the field of play so they had 19 on the ground during the melee. Let alone the fact that he and Prestia were interfering with opposition players while on the bench. Not sure where the rules apply though.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
