They will all get off, as will Sloane and Walker.

It's grand final MF's. AFL wants the cream of the crop out there, and they love Richmond. We sell poo for them like it's the apocalypse.

AFL owe us for what happened with Bachar Houli suspension. We have 2 games in lieu which means we use 1 for Ellis and 1 for Cotchin. All is even and square now.
Go Tigers!

If Cotch goes then Sloane and Walker do too

He shouldn't but with MRP lotto who bloody knows

Leigh Matthews said on game day je shouldn't and it would be bad for the game of he did

Ellis will cop a fine for his bump. He should cop a suspension for reverting back to form in the 3rd for pulling out of a contest in the 3rd

"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

has anyone bumped someone and got away with nothing, not even a fine? is there a precedent?

Facts are you dont know if it was cotch's bump that hurt him or am i missing something here?

If it was a home and away game cotch would be gone. They may show sympathy tho I reckon

To escape suspension, Cotchin would need to be cleared of any wrongdoing, with his actions deemed a reasonable attack on the ball.

Leon Cameron just said he doesn't believe there's anything in it as both players were going for the ball. He also admitted Shiels copped a couple of knocks in the first quarter.

Good sportsmanship from Cameron.

They showed a Zac Jones bump on a Melbourne player which looked worse and didn't attract a suspension
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I think the astbury hit on shiel is worse.
The fact that astbury decided to bump and overran the ball looks bad. Sheil also didn't play on after the hit.
As far as Cotchin is concerned I think he attacked the footy and incidental contact was made to the head. Cotchin intent was the ball. Shiel gets 4 possessions after the Cotchin incident. Simply Cotchin gets off.

Astbury might be in trouble though.

Thought Astbury's was just a shirt front and Shiel got whiplashed.

The Arseberry bump was what caused the damage imo, when Shiel was off he was pointing to his neck to the trainers, they can argue that he had a few big hits earlier and I think Cameron pointed that out himself.

Apparently there's one in 2014 with Hannabery but I haven't seen it so not too sure the similarities. Just read he got away with it because he was going ball and protected himself so had no other reasonable options
