RICHMOND
Trent Cotchin – two fines
Bachar Houli – four matches
Dustin Martin – two fines
Alex Rance – two matches
The Tigers have superstar Dustin Martin and captain Trent Cotchin each sitting on two fines for low-level offences, meaning a third minor offence will result in a one-match suspension.
But they also have defenders Bachar Houli and Alex Rance carrying bad suspension records from the past two years, with that pair facing an extra week on the sidelines if they are suspended through the finals.
Houli's loading is the result of a four-match suspension for striking Jed Lamb in round 14, while Rance is still carrying a bad record from 2016 when he struck Melbourne forward Jack Watts.
A player who has been suspended for two matches or more in the past two AFL years is deemed to have a bad record.
