Cotchin out?

Featured Replies

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

Yes broke the other players jaw if my memories correct.

Rub him out just to see the Richmond nuffies get upset.

Now that's entertainment!!!

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...

Was going the ball

nope, and on precedents irrelevant anyway

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)

  • 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.
