Cotchin Kicks Walker & Cops A Fine !!

[LordLucifer]

Cotchin fined by AFL over Walker kick

Either it is a suspension or he gets let off, there is no inbetween here !!

Had to be something. It was a deliberate strike that connected.

should have been a week.

 

[The Cardtrader]

Stupid. Clumsy. Ill-considered. Sort of trying to get the guy off him/deter him from landing on him

A fine is fine.

But a suspension for that and I'll walk away from this game and say "you win AFL" good luck with it all.

Intentional, low impact, body contact = fine. Dumb thread, clueless OP.

Cochin always goes the cheapy when things aren't going his way. Doesn't get criticised for it in the media though because he's got the same good bloke status Hodge had. Kicking a player is a putrid thing to do on the football field - deserved a week for sure.

 

[DT_35]

Typical. The bloke is a flog and always looks for the cheap shot

it's got nothing to do with Tex.

LOL Yes I will.

I can just imagine Gerard and Robbo covering it on 360...

Low impact to the body. Barely connected. Had no impact on TW’s ability to play out the game. I think it was partially a defensive action - he’d just copped a fair shove from Walker that sent him sprawling to the ground, flipped over and still saw Walker coming at him. Walker had no intent, but Cotchin didn’t know that at the time, and as I said before had just been sent to the turf by him. Was possibly still intimidated by TW’s power ranger stance as well.

Fine is fair enough. Worth it to hear the bleating about how the three-time premiership captain (and Brownlow Medallist, Victorian State captain) shouldn’t have even been playing in the 2017 GF.

Cotchin did kick Walker.

But the force was so minor it could never have been more than a fine. Absolutely no potential to cause injury.

Now o/p please change the “l” to an ’n” in the thread title so we can all have a laugh.

Cotchins always been a cheap shot kinda bloke.

Only reason he got a Brownlow as the AFL is too gutless to hold him to account.

Nothings changed.

He got a Brownlow because they held a son of football royalty to account, but they were too gutless to hold Trent Cotchin to account?

And as an aside, what was Trent meant to be held accountable for in the 2012 season?

ahh the AFL acquitted the players. The WADA appeal was what convicted them

"Cotchin was found guilty of kicking in an incident assessed as intentional contact, low impact and body contact."

There's barely any contact or force in it, that's never going to be a suspension. You can't really argue with the grading and under the rules a fine is the correct result. Wake up, have any of you followed this game at all?

Cotchin is a gutless cheap shot artist. Should've been rubbed out for the 2017 GF and has a history of doing stuff like this. Cowardly and a sore loser.

some things should be a week minimum. Any intentional kicks, trips etc

Lots of things "should" or "shouldnt" in the AFL, there's flaws in the system everywhere.

This was never going to be a suspension under the current rules.

Just out of interest… on a scale of one to Andrew Gaff where does Cotchin brushing Walker’s leg rate?

Kickimg and stomping have literally always been elevated a step. Until now.

Maybe it was a sympathetic moment. Cos Richmond is terribad.

So you condone violence? Tex made a mistake and paid the ultimate price but at least he is not a dirty little sniper like the person in question.
