    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 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..

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
