Trent Cotchin (Merged)

If Dylan Shiel was concussed, it could have been from the head bump he received in his clash with David Astbury just before quarter time, not the from the clash with Cotchin, which hurt Shiel's shoulder not his head. How do you get the MRP to take note of this if it reviews the Cotchin incident?
 
Played like a man possessed. There was no way he was going to get beaten tonight. The run to Lids before celebrating with teammates showed what a classy leader he is.

He can't miss the GF. If the MRP RUB him out, I.say we all converge on AFL house with pitchforks and torchea

Immense performance of epic proportion, one more to go skipper ....

I was one who didn't think he should have been captain. I thought it was too early. He has proved me wrong. Leads with courage. Leads with class. You always want a captain you think you'd follow into the trenches. I wasn't always sold on Trent in that regard. I am now. Have been all season. Inspirational.
 
Which way will the MRP go? The "I know nothing because it's a grand final" route or the "let's make a name for ourselves and be controversial and rub him out" route?
 
What the incident many times and if you look carefully Shiel ducks his head just before impact so for me Cotch is completely in the clear. BEllis however may have a case to answer
 
Both clear, going for the ball, move on, cotchin should not even be a issue, short can do Ellis role quite well.
 
Absolutely bloody outstanding skippers performance, set the example.... again

I won't be shocked if he goes, shouldn't , but the way they are with the head. Shiel kept playing and I think cops another wack to the head from Astbury

If they go the later they'll burn AFL house down.
 
Let's not forget that Shiel got cleaned up by Astbury just before Qtr time.

How are they going to prove which incident caused the concussion.
 
Late last qtr. MCC Members wing. Ball in disput and Davis (I think) is about to grab the ball close to the boundary. Through sheer force of will Cotchin runs past 2 other Giants and nails him and takes him over the boundary. That piece of play typified his finals series.

so so pleased for him
 
No case to answer. There wasn't even a free kick.

No penalty for someone going hard at the ball, fairly mind you.

His 2017 Finals Campaign has been outstanding.

His hit on Shiel was no different to how he tackled Selwood and Dangerfield in the QF.

Low barrelled at the ball, head down.

He was made to play in a Grand Final.

I can't see how Cotchin s hit caused concussion. At the game I watched him afterwards the hit and he wasn't groggy in any way, but he was very concerned with his shoulder and holding it. That's where the impact was. I agree that the media is beating it up. Makes a great suspense story.
