    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: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
