This is where its a joke, if it was round 10 he would get a fine but because it's the week of a Grand Final he gets off. Just another example of the AFL changing rules to suit the masses.[/quote]
No one deserves to miss a gf for either incident, especially the Cotchin one[/quote]

What Cotchin, unfortunately, deserves a fine. The AFL brought in rules to protect the head, Shiel was not able to play the game out due to concussion as a result of the bump. If he hadn't stupidly punched blokes earlier in the year then this would be a mute point but that's not the case. He by no means should get a week for the incident if there were no priors but again that's not the case. It has the possibility of opening some cans of worms in the future
