I'm not happy that the Dockers have capitulated to the media pressure to 'be seen to do something' about Bennell. This was a non event.
There's something horribly wrong when one bloke can get a $1000 fine for a punching another in the face, and another can get $10,000 for allegedly appearing to be slightly wobbly at a WAFL game.
That incident with Cotchin happened in the first few minutes of that game, and moments before that they'd interviewed Cotchin with his mum for Mothers Day and he tried to come across as such a nice young man. His mum was saying how terrible it is to watch other players getting stuck into her son. And then he goes and does that.
