OMG if he got suspended for something Barry Hall got off on l give watching football away.
WTF is going on with this game, 3 umpires made so many mistakes  ???

same here

thankfully some small show of common sense from the MRP today  :o

Ablely assisted by serial diver and award winning actor Kane Cornes  :lol :lol

I reckon the fact Cornes went down like he'd been struck by Tyson and then Ali made the MRP think "Nah not this time"

K Cornes should be done for faking if Trent wasn't done due to not enough force.
Whats the point in evening having the faking rule there if they don't start using it in cases like this.

Here's the official MRP report:

Contact between Richmond’s Trent Cotchin and Port Adelaide’s Kane Cornes from the second quarter of Saturday’s match was assessed. After a medical report from the Port Adelaide Football Club, it was determined that the level of force used was below that required to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

Hmm, you can still pull the old 'medical report from the opposition' trick in the AFL.
The spirit of the VFL and Graeme Richmond lives on   ;D
