Why are you bringing up Cotchin anyway? It’s an incident from 5 years ago, the AFL have altered every interpretation of head high contact since then, they’ve gone out of their way to protect players from concussion.

Why? He didn’t get hit in the head. Hurt his shoulder. Concussion came from a later incident. Our 3 time premiership captain is actually a ball player who has achieved something in his career. Good luck scraping into the finals.

Fair enough you didn’t win [emoji2957]

New precedent here, head is open slather now, just make it look like you’re trying to mark a handball and you’ll be in the clear. Feel for Achee, no justice.

Will be the last thing Carlton win this year.

Yeah this case definitely lacks the media witch hunt necessary to get a fine.

Start a thread then dude.

Classic response from deluded Dees supporters. I guess you’re so used to bruise free footy you can’t recognize when your own player is a sniper.

No not a word, that was paid a free kick to Pickett because Mansell grabbed him high in retaliation, so I imagine they didn’t even look at it.

Any possibility that Pickett would be in trouble for his off the play bump into Mansells head? Or the more concerning knee pressing down onto Mansells neck? I imagine he’d be fined but would a suspension be on the cards?

Gormless was at least 30 meters from that contest, wtf was he doing??

Selwoods throw to Guthrie also ignored right in front of the umpire.

It’s baffling that one weak non-call can decide the game, but the game was littered with some outrageous calls, holding the ball with no prior was paid a lot tonight.

An iPhone could capture this perfectly... an iPhone. 240 frames per second. Stick one on a goal post with a remote switch, I could do it now.

Kevin Sheedy’s pro staging and diving, it’s an under utilized skill. We should be embracing the best, it’s a dying art form. #bringbackthedive

Rioli got pushed square in the back on the wing and resisted diving and the umps didn’t pay it, you win some you lose some. Richmond lose more umpiring decisions than any other team.

They call them when they shouldn’t and don’t call them when they should.

Almost Making a Murderer type injustice this one. Can’t believe some of the cheap shots that have got off recently. Christian’s grading is poor.

Are there any stats available that show what the free kicks are for?

The only thing more pathetic is the view that they don't or haven't.

Lethal said there was nothing in it...

It's Gibson so assume intentional with a late look of confusion.

Though I loved seeing a bit of payback to the Hawks for all their late hits and spoils, this decision is just ridiculous, considering his bad record. I also find this kind of reckless attack on the player and ball one of the more dangerous acts on a footy field.

Reputation has cost him here, and will for any future incidents.

Thought he'd cop more but not surprised, if he was a clean skin he'd be playing this week, which defies belief.

It's hard to feel sorry for a team that has Lindsay Thomas in it.

Look at the goal from the reversal, umps were pretty good under immense pressure.

Nah I was trying to spark an intelligent response...

If anyone wants a precedence for this incident, go back to Reece Conca's behind the play bump on Leigh Adams in the NAB cup, in both incidents both players were trying to put a block on unsuspecting opponents who turned at the last moment and clashed heads, Conca received 4 weeks and 3 with an...

Haha, looks like he's taken a head shot from the grassy knoll.
