The issue here isn’t hat Zach was suspended. Because the AFL have told them they’ll be suspended for that. The issue I’d that cotchin has gotten off multiple times and that needs to be seriously looked at
Protected species that Cotchin

When arguably your best most disciplined player screws up like this though what can you do…
Other than bring in BIG BOI BEGLY!!!

I don’t think the contents of these reports is released to the public. God forbid that they would come under some sort of critical analysis.

Even though a week ago, Hodge received a $2500 fine for doing the same thing, for the THIRD TIME this year?

And a suspension
The suspension was for being a 3rd strike. Mandatory.
The penalty was a fine.

2 weeks for that?! Blow me mrp!
He shouldnt of lashed out, but i dont blame him for it. Was copping it, his teammates werent helping out, and he snapped.
I hope essendon remenber that medical report that the scum put forward the next time a carlton player gets reported against us.
Medium impact?! get stuffed scum!
Where is the consistency, cotchin does it every second week and doesnt get suspended , franklin hits people in the face everyweek with his forarms and doesnt get cited

I’m confused. Do people want Zerret cleared or Cotchin suspended?

As I said last week in the “things that annoy you” thread…
Mind you, the AFL do specialise in predetermined results.

So if they get it wrong once, they have to get it wrong for the rest of the year?
It was dumb and pointless. They should double penalties in these situations. “Intentional contact, medium impact, dumb as dog ■■■■”
Maybe this stops Zach doing something dumb in a prelim in the future.
I am more confused that Joe was fined for striking and his blow was more severe than Zacs strike.

Probably not a bad time for a rest.
Fully deserved a week. End of story.
