    Shiel out concussed so has to miss now, but he won't afl won't want him missing grand final

    He was going for the ball, shouldn't get rubbed out. But with the MRP you never know.

    His main issue is the impact will be seen as high with Sheil out for the game.

    It's the way they determine things that is the problem. If you're eyes are for the ball it should be irrelevant what happens because there is always going to be incidents where someone gets hurt, it's a contact sport.

    Nothing to worry about

    If Mrp consistent hed have to cop a fine,non intentional or not. Clipped Shiel. Shiel off concussed. Precedents exists for fine at least .or a week.

    Luckily for Richmond the Mrp are anything but consistent.

    Shiel'll get 3 weeks probably

    When you brace and choose contact before you try to get the ball, get a guy in the head, and concuss him, youre gone.  But AFL wont let that happen.

    Deliberate, high and intentional. Cotchin has form and actually sped up to make the incident more hurtful to the head area.

    Maggots up to their usual impartially bereft standard and heavily favoring Tigers to ensure their family GF Tickets.

    Theres the key, had other options, chose to hit him in the head.  All its needs is to be a fine, and hes's rubbed out.

    Cotchin has couple fines already so even a fine will see him miss a game, and at a bare minimum that would be a fine during the year

    Has 2 points already. Be a big story if tigers win. Though hope it is a draw . Haha couldn't give a funk

    Has our game become so crazy that a player can be suspended for attempting to bump his opponent? Forget the precedents, fines, mrp etc, it's all crap and absolute over-policing of the game imo

    Gone. Only needs a fine, MRP just have to follow their guidelines and he's out for 1

    I think you're right but it's not just.

    It doesnt matter what the game "has become".  It matters being consistent and on this years precedents he has to go.  You dont change the rules because of the the game he could miss.

    I think it matters. For a player to miss a potential grand final for that is unforgiveable. It's plain wrong. The current law is an ass.

    But Cotchin is on his last legs in this regard. No fine applicable this time.

    If he's guilty it'll be a week.

    Personally, I think he should be okay. If it was one of our blokes I'd be filthy if they got rubbed out for something like that in a Prelim.

    If he goes for that the game is fubar

    It's a hard tough game. If that decision means a Captain misses a Granny then the game is being killed by suits..

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
