Contesting the ball as he's entitled to do, Jack Viney cleared on appeal for exact same thing, no case to answer against West Coast exact same thing.

    When?

    When I first saw it I thought no chance he will be rubbed out.

    But the replay looks like he goes the man as well as the ball and clearly collects shiel in the head resulting in concussion. 

    Poor record can't afford a fine I think he needs to go for that... 

    Grand final or not the rules shouldn't change

    Has to be rubbed out, hands didn't go for the ball, braced for a bump and had other options.

    Exactly. You get it. Good eye, and you understand the game. Not many do, so full props there.

    Don't think so.

    I think GWS should be awarded draft concessions for it.

    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

    Forget logic and reason RTG. He's a Richmond [censored] so I hope he gets life.

    The poster confused me by saying Viney did the exact same thing.

    Very different, Viney was upright and Lynch dropped into him.

    Cotchin accelerated, braced for a bump and basically dived causing injury.

    Have to watch it again but pretty sure he dived in low to contest the ball, you're allowed to contest the ball, if the impact is incidental then it's ok.

    What I was saying is that the contact was in the act of contesting the ball which is allowed.

    Both players going for the ball- he's just as culpable as Shiel.  I'm no Tigers fan, but you can't miss a grand final for something as dubious as that.

    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.

    think I agree...but it IS the rule and too many precedents THIS year to ignore it...

    Since when do you pick up a ball with a clenched fist?

    Very dangerous when a player already has there head over the ball to slide in like that.

    I don't think it is but we'll see.

    I love Cothcin's attack on the ball that maximises the physical impact on his opponent. Footy at its best. I hope he does not get rubbed out but the current climate is harsh on these types of incidents.

    They tend to turn a blind eye for GF ( refer B.Hall)

    Safe but lucky I reckon.

    ( Head sacrosanct etc ,will be forgotten in true AFL , frustrating style)

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
