Cotch reported by the ump for a jab to the guts.
What do you think the MRP will say about it?
-
Surely Low impact, low contact, in play, intentional. Early plea surely gets a fine.
-
1 week he will cop

1 week he will cop
I hope so. Needs a week to contemplate his recent poor form. I would have dropped him anyway.

You & Dooks would drop him after every loss.....
10 kicks 6 turnovers for the game. 1 tackle til half time. Sounds like he needs to be dropped. That aside......
Poos his leadership pants when the game is on the line with 2 minutes to go re Sydney, GWS and Fremantle.
9 disposals @ the norf final.
Kicks against the wind @the port final.

Trent Cotchin faces another nervous MRP wait amid AFL's punching furore
Anthony Colangelo
The Age
10 July 2017
Richmond's 67-point loss to St Kilda has been compounded by the report of captain Trent Cotchin in an incident that will ensure the debate about punching in the AFL rages on.
Vision showed Cotchin's fist may not have been completely clenched when he struck Lonie, however the force was enough to put the St Kilda player on his knees.
Cotchin was lucky to escape suspension when he struck Fremantle's Lachie Neale in the jaw with a jumper punch in round eight.
If the punch is deemed by the MRP to be intentional and medium impact to the body Cotchin would be able to accept a one-week ban. However if the impact is deemed to be low he will escape with a fine.
Meanwhile, St Kilda's Tim Membrey will almost certainly be suspended. In the second quarter he struck Richmond's Dylan Grimes with an elbow to the face in a marking contest. Grimes took no further part in the game after the ugly incident.
Cotchin's punch comes at a time when the AFL has been besieged by controversial striking incidents.
In round 14 Richmond's Bachar Houli was suspended for four matches after he elbowed Carlton's Jed Lamb in the face. The MRP referred Houli's strike straight to the AFL tribunal which banned him for two matches. But on AFL appeal, Houli was suspended for four matches.
The next week Melbourne's Tomas Bugg received a six-match suspension for a crude punch to the head of Sydney's Callum Mills. Mills, like Lamb the week before, was concussed and missed the rest of the match.
Following the Bugg incident, the AFL's then-diversity manager Ali Fahour was suspended for 14 weeks for a punching an opponent to the head and concussing him in a Northern Football League match.
Fahour subsequently resigned from his role at the AFL amid huge public backlash for his conduct. Police have also charged Fahour with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault.
On Fahour's punch, AFL boss Gillon McLachlan said: "The events this week have sent a clear message that striking and punching at any level of our game is not acceptable".
Earlier in the season, after a spiteful round nine clash between North Melbourne and Melbourne that featured numerous punches and striking incidents, McLachlan and AFL footy operations boss Simon Lethlean flagged a crackdown on punching.
"I don't like punching in our game," McLachlan said. "I don't feel it's the look we want and you know to the extent that our rules don't provide for it [punishments to players], we'll look to change them.
On the same day Lethlean SEN radio: "It's unusual, but we're going to [change the rules mid-season]. We don't want punching to continue".
To the outrage of many, Geelong's Tom Hawkins was suspended for one match in round 11 for a jumper punch on Adelaide's Matt Crouch. Some deemed Hawkins' punch as similar to the one that Cotchin escaped suspension for in round eight.
Collingwood's Levi Greenwood will also come under MRP scrutiny following Saturday's games. As he bumped Essendon's Zach Merrett at the MCG, Greenwood's elbow slipped off his opponents shoulder and into his head.

Im worried, if he gets a week, what happens on field in the absence of the #insaneconnection between captain and players?
Surely looking at a loss.

Cotch got off with just a fine.
Trent Cotchin, Richmond, has been charged with striking Jack Lonie, St Kilda, during the first quarter of the Round 16 match between Richmond and St Kilda, played at Etihad Stadium on Saturday July 8, 2017.
In summary, for a second classifiable offence, he can accept a $1500 sanction with an early plea.
Based on the available video evidence and a medical report from the St Kilda Football Club, the incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact to the body. The incident was a second classifiable offence and classified as a $2500 sanction. An early plea enables the player to accept a $1500 sanction.

The umpire is a fairdinkum twit for reporting it and the MRP are a bunch of stuffing jerkoffs for entertaining it and then giving that other prick only 2 weeks for nearly taking Grimes head off his shoulders. This game has become a stuffing debacle
-
If Cotchin does it again this season and is reported he faces certain suspension. Needs to curb it.
-
It's annoying because it puts his game off. He rarely plays well when he gets suckered into the lowbrow stuff.
