Cotchin out?

Ellis will get looked at too, but will get off. Whitfield not concussed, and didn't leave the ground. Fine there too. 

Cotchin is a definite fine for mine, and a player that treads that line deserves to miss. 

A devils advocate hypothetical: if it was Martin not Cotchin, would he still win the Brownlow?

Brownlow is Home and away BnF

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

To be just, it is also not fair that good ball players like Shiel and others seem to get singled out in Finals. Some miss games because of, (incidents,hits etc) and some don't.

Honestly I think he's just going hard at the ball. That same action would have happened 10,000 times this year and it's only being discussed because Shiel got hurt. 

Cotchins eyes are on nothing but the ball. 

Itd be a shame if he missed because of that

Or did he go in low and hard at the ball and brace for contact?

Either way... irrelevant.

Mrp goes by impact and result.

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.

I hope you weren't hoping for a GWS win and a win for $cully? I was certainly wanting Richmond to win.

Would you grade it careless and low impact? Still a fine and he is gone

I'm not sure it's even careless, he won the ball, at worst it was a free kick if you ask me.

Deplorable "non decision"by the umpire.

Might Dave Cotchin but shouldn't save him.

I think there is an unwritten rule that the MRP go by during finals and in particular the grand final.

My strong sense is that they tend to downgrade the punishment if it looks like costing a GF or other final. This ensures the punishment fits the crime.

I'm happy with that approach and don't want him missing a GF for that knock.

Yes, fair comment. I wasn't hoping for GWS upon reflection, maybe a lack of a closer game score and balanced broadcasting along with how seventy thousand  ferals can swing like a pendulum has browned me off enough for this year.

The problem for Cotchin is 1) there was without doubt contact 2) Shiel was concussed 3) he's got a tab running.

Normally the mrp would downgrade it to a nothing kinda fine. 

So its more a case that the mrp has nowhere to go. It cant say it was nothing. It can't just sweep it under the carpet. 

So any form of something os just a bit too much.

This ought to be entertaining.

Rubbish, its a competitive game, no malice just intent to win the contest

Text book study of going for the wrong balls in my opinion....

I'm crooked on the umpiring of the incident. Clearly his head rocks back and umpire nowhere near close enough to adjudge it. Poor effort with three umpires.

Cotchin has already been very lucky this year, particularly with the jumper punch.

Has has the benefit of minimal fines and is 'playing' the umpires.

Third indiscretion and should go but probably won't.

Umpire should definitely go.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
