    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
