    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.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
