Adelaide veteran Taylor Walker says Trent Cotchin struck him with a “deliberate” kick during the Crows’ win over the Tigers on Saturday.
Cotchin escaped suspension and was hit with a $2000 fine after he was caught up in a fiery exchange with Walker.
During the game, Walker landed a heavy bump on Cotchin to send the former Richmond captain tumbling over the boundary line.

As Cotchin fell to the ground, he appeared to stick his foot out and kick the Adelaide forward while they momentarily tangled over the boundary line.
Asked whether Cotchin got away with a light punishment, Walker gave a blunt reply on Triple M radio.
“Especially when it’s deliberate,” Walker said.
“I tell you what, if the shoe was on the other foot I would have been missing the next month.”
Walker, the former Crows skipper, was playing in just his second game back from suspension after he was rubbed out for six games following a racism controversy.
He booted five goals as the Crows defeated the Tigers by 19 points in Adelaide.
