I may get shot down by a bucket load of Richmond supporters here, but watching the replay again last night, Cogs lined Brown up, hit him pretty hard, and came off second best. Any other player in the league would do the same thing as Brown.

Coming off second best is not the point, lots of players go in hard hoping to have an impact, and both players in this case hit the ground hard, Cogs was the one who ended up with the wind knocked out of him, fair enough, but for the dog Brown to then stand over him and repeatedly throw him into the turf is not something that any other player would do.
What if Cogs had done his collarbone in the collision, and Brown carried on the way he did, is that acceptable?

Its Wednesday - the game was sunday. - Next.
Spot on. Coughlin's hit was high. If Brown had been hurt, he would have been reported for it without a doubt.turtle27 said:
As it is, it takes a fair bit to hurt Brown and Coughlin came off second best. Brown was well within his rights to tell Coughlin what he thought of the attempted hit (this was not long after C.Brown had cleaned up N.Brown and it was clearly intended as a square up). Funny incident.
Nah, that's crap. Campbell Brown is a very limited footballer and he can do some pretty dirty things on the ground, but he is tough. He cops as much and he gives out, and played on with a dislocated shoulder a couple seasons ago (and took a pack mark with it dangling). He did nothing wrong on the weekend. Just let Coughlin know what he thought of his attempted square up.cjwalkley said:
Problem was that coughlan jumped too far into the air. Should have stayed down. Coughlan ended up collecting him on the upper shoulder, no wonder he came off second best.
But at the end of the day Hawthorn lost and will loose next week again.

What if Brown had been KO'd from the head high contact? Would it be ok for his teammates to give it to a winded Coughlin?Captain Blood said:
As said, Coughlin was fortunate Brown wasn't hurt, or he would probably have an appointment with Peter Schwab.
Funny incident as it turns out.
nowhere near head high, take another look.superstar said:
What should have been two players going hard at each other, turned into a petulant little Hawthorn boy, trying to be a stand over man when someone was on the ground. The look on Cog's face suggested that the treatment he got from Brown was hardly worth concerning himself with, he seemed to look at Brown and say "Oh its only you, you're not worth the trouble little boy."

Captain Blood said:
Obviously ... but your bias has affected your vision if you reckon it wasn't head-high. Coughlan clearly left the ground and clearly made contact head high.
He's a lucky boy that he didn't do any damage. If brown had have stayed down the way that Coughlan did, it'd be before the tribunal for sure.

CB, I hate having to disagree with a felow Tigers boy, but Cogs clearly jumped off the ground, and as local said said, actually got him high, wasn't helped by the fact that Brown is not overally tall, but if he had got him properly, I think Cogs may be collecting a week off.Captain Blood said:
You're right about Brown coming back at Cogs, it didn't seem to worry him too much, but for me, all players in the league would have had a go at him. I personally didn't have a problem with it, but that's just me.
Even if Brown had been hurt there was nothing in it.

Hodge_is_God said:The funniest part of the whole thing is that Coughlan is widely recognised as Richmond's toughest player...
Courageous? Yes. Tough? Hehehe...well the footage speaks for itself.
For the idiot who called Brown a sniper, you obiously don't watch much of him, otherwise you'd see him consistently putting his head over the ball, constantly running back with the flight with utter disregard for his own safety, taking on blokes six or more inches and weight-divisions bigger, popping his shoulder out after throwing himself in the line of on-coming traffic etc. etc. THAT'S Toughness, and any side would have him.
A bloke who attacks a player leaving the field from behind isn't a sniper?
Never said he didn't attack the footy, just he has a screw loose that over rides any courageous act he may do.
Wouldn't be surprised if Coughlin did going by that effort.Bentleigh said:
Off the ground, head high contact and he's the one who got hurt. Great work by Browny.
How was Clinton Grybas' commentary though. Got a little bit over excited.
Cheers for the footage Nightwolf. Quality.

Classic wasn't it, way over the top with his wild melee call when there was 5 blokes involved. Two things I loved about it though. Pettifer chucking Mitchel around like he was a rag doll, and Richie Vandenberg, love they way he goes in during a fight.Choota said:

A second year, 75kg player leaving the field at that?
nonchalance said:
Winderlich is a whole ten months younger, four kgs lighter, and two inches taller than Browny...Wow. Poor little kid.
It was hardly a king-hit. He jabbed him.
Either way, one incident does not make someone a sniper - or would you say that about Mark Bickley?
In his 50-odd games, Brown has been on the recieving end far more often that he's given it out, and hasn't complained. For a bloke standing 177cms, that's not bad going.
Hodge_is_God said:It was hardly a king-hit. He jabbed him.
In the back of the head.
While Winders was going off the field.
That said, I'm impressed that Brown's only 177cm - he walks a fair bit taller than that.
I wouldn't call him a sniper on one incident, but the Winderlich hit was a dog act.
