Re: MRP thread 2017

lol - system is completely farked. Happy for Cotchin and Ellis but Steve Hocking has some work to do to rip this piece of shit system up and bring in something that actually works.

Guys like Jason Cloke who missed a GF for suspension for less must be furious. Cotchins was the simplest suspension all year for them to make, and they didn't.

Cotchin could morph into Ivan Milat and he'd still get off

Re: MRP thread 2017

Cotchin decision correct, we can't stop players bending over to get the ball.

Shiel bent over to get the ball, Cotchin bumped him

Disagree entirely , under their rules he should have went . What happened to the head being sacrosanct? Cotchin Braced in bumping motion, and made head contact . MRP squibbed it

Both bending over to get the ball. If we take this out of the game then we may as well play basketball. Nothing like the Ellis one, or Ollie Wines bumps.

Since when do you pick up the ball with your shoulder?

Very funny.

Both bent over, but contact made by shoulder as Cotchin rushed in to get the ball. Two bodies clashing.

Also Cotchin went in low to avoid hitting his head - it happens all the time in contested footy.

Re: MRP thread 2017

I'm not going to agree or disagree as I only got a brief look at it and I'm not that interested in going back to have another look.

But I wonder what the ruling would have been if it was round 4 of the season.

Popularity contest, facts and precedent be damned

Can't agree with that. Cotchin had other options but chose to bump - onus is on him once contact is made to the head, which occurred before the ball became his focus.

Good luck to Cotchin and Ellis but both incidents would be suspendable in Round 8 at Spotless. The system is broken and needs to be completely overhauled.

i don't believe it was a bump, his eyes were on the ball

Clearly a bump, which forced Shiel out of the game with concussion. It was 2 motions - bump to head followed by focus on getting the ball (which only spilled free as a result of the bump to Shiel's head).
