Cotchin's 'head' was his shoulder and he will not be suspended.

The tragedy of Trent Cotchin - why escaping suspension is all but impossible for the Richmond skipper

That fact alone would trouble everyone at Tigerland - though we’ve seen the league bend over backwards to ensure the biggest stars are playing on the biggest day in football.

But this isn’t Cotchin’s first indiscretion this year. In fact, he’s already been fined twice, and a third slap on the wrist would trigger an automatic one-week suspension under the league’s ‘three strikes’ match review panel policy.

The wiggle room is virtually non-existent. The contact was high. His opponent was concussed.

Unless they can argue he had no other realistic way to contest the ball, and maybe that would have been the case had he kept his feet, his card is marked.

Will LOL hard if he does get banned.

While I generally find Richmond supporters ok, the sense of entitlement some of them felt is getting unbearable.

Jumper punch is ok because its Cotchin and he is a good bloke. Not his fault Neale is soft...
AFL should bend the rules so that they don't have to wear their poorly designed clash jumper. They have been around for years...
AFL should bend the rules so that their sniping players can get off and play the grand finals...

Interesting to see for second year in a row we have one side(tigers) with a very smaller mobile forwardline with one key target and the Crows
with 3/4 key targets in Tex, Jenkens, Lynch and Oten/McGovern(doubt on Hammy) and off course Eddy and Cameron as dangerous crumbers.

In 2016 WB had a very mobile forwardline with Tom Boyd as the only key target and he spent most of his time in the Ruck against the Swans with Buddy & Tippett as key targets

Last year's gf was ruined by Buddy basically injuring himself in the first contest of the game. Couldn't run after that and is the main reason WB have a premiership.
