    Preuss will be the only one suspended. Star and/or Richmond/Collingwood/Geelong rule save Cotchin and De Goey.

    Cotchin has been getting away with this dirty stuff his whole career. Would be nice if people got suspended for deliberate malicious acts rather than incidental collisions and tackles.

    Cotchin is a faux tough guy, always has been. Nut probably tried to mess up his hairdo, which would’ve sent him aggro (Cotchin’s hair probably looks like that even in the shower).

    Despite a string of match review charges he has not been suspended since a four-week absence for charging North Melbourne’s Sam Wright in 2010.

    Cotchin famously played in the 2017 grand final after being cleared of rough conduct when he concussed Dylan Shiel as he tried to contest the ball early in the MCG preliminary final.

    In 2019 Cotchin was handed only a fine for striking Lachie Neale in the jaw amid an AFL crackdown on punches, then copped another fine for striking St Kilda’s Jack Lonie to the stomach later that season.

    He was also handed a reprimand for an early-career strike on St Kilda’s Jarryn Geary and a fine for a late, high spoil on Zac Williams.

    Last year he was again fined for kicking Adelaide’s Taylor Walker, with the Crows ex-captain saying he “would have been missing the next month” had he committed the act.

    Cotchin has also been fined for tripping, umpire contact, wrestling and engaging in a melee across his highly decorated 287-game Brownlow Medal-winning career.

    Cotchin deserves a week. Won't get one. Should have got a month for kicking taylor walker. Preuss should get off but will probably get 2 weeks

    Cotchin should get one week. But he won’t.  AFL is biased on and off field.  
    False tough guy. False nice guy. Brownlow medallion by default.  Pathetic act from a so called leader !!

    So he hasn't got any form that would indicate that he should spend the next  five years in jail.

    Completely bizarre. Thanks for fixing it up.

    Cotchin's good run with the MRO/tribunal has continued with a fine he'll be able to pick up from the car ashtray,

    Although in fairness, if it was one our players we'd probably say it only deserved a fine.

    De Goey got off too, and probably fair enough.

    Somewhat surprisingly, I think the MRO got the three decisions more or less right.

    Cotchin maybe a little lucky, the De Goey one was a sling but wasn't a drive into the ground, and Berry actually jumped into the Preuss tackle so I don't think there was much he could do.

    How on earth does Cotchin only get a fine when Viney gets 2 weeks? I remember Whately really pushing the case for Vineys suspension but doesn’t seem to care so much about Cotchin.

    Its pre season and already the MRO has lost credibility.

    Walker was right when he said if it was him kicking Cotchin he would have got a month

    the MRO cannot lose what it has never had, credibility

    Watched the footage of JV’s suspension from a few years back. His elbow was into Collins neck for about 4.5second. The amount of force applied also looks negligible as Collins doesn’t react initially - comparable  to when i scratch the belly of my cat for the same amount of time - both then realise what’s going and proceed to freak out. 

    Cotchin’s had much more of a driving force , and from what I can tell seems to apply the arm for about 2-3 seconds.

    The situation was similar enough, with the same intent and arguably higher force. Loved the way Robbo and sidekick Whately just wave it off in 360. I had to pinch myself as I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

    Disappointed but not surprised. Whatever, hopefully he hasn't been dropped and is playing Anzac Eve when we belt them again.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
