'Insane connection' driving the Tigers: Cotchin
afl.com.au
7 July 2017
SKIPPER Trent Cotchin believes an "insane connection" among this year’s squad has Richmond well placed to challenge for the premiership.
The Tigers are fourth on the ladder heading into their round 16 match against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. Their 9-5 record has them poised to challenge for a top-four spot.
Richmond played in three straight finals series from 2013-15, losing elimination finals each time.
Cotchin, in his fifth season as captain, describes the 2017 team "as probably the strongest group I’ve been part of".
He said the Tigers had learned plenty from their disappointing 2016 campaign, which saw them finish 13th with only eight wins. He dismissed suggestions they might be scarred by the string of elimination final losses.
"That connection is what’s going to drive us going forward and I look forward to what the rest of the season holds," he said in the second episode of The Chase video series.
Cotchin also speaks openly about his changing leadership style, inspired in part by the poor 2016 season when he had a "lightbulb moment" while questioning his capacity to continue in the role.
"My greatest lesson came last year … I always thought I had good relationships with my teammates but I don’t think I had great relationships," the 27-year old Cotchin said.
"I was trying to be this perfect leader, this perfect person in all aspects of my life, not just football.
"It was a challenging year for the club but also from an individual point of view. It was a really important moment in my career," he said.

I hope we don't start going on about connections and pumping ourselves up like we did with that video of the 2013/14 offseason I believe. Just shut up and play footy and let that do the talking. Still unproven.

The most disturbing part of that artical for me is remember we finished 13th last year only to give our best pick in years away for Prestia. Wasted opportunity right there!!

I thought we received pick 24 AND Prestia for our pick 6. That pick was then traded for Caddy.

I'm pretty sure we gave back our second round pick this year. So effectively pick 6 for Prestia. Yuk

exactly what a load of poo.
I would have thought you he would have learnt after losing to carlton, port and north, not when you finish 13th
stfu cotch with your rubbish and just win a final.

The worst captain is still Kane Johnson but yes he is having a dirty night

Pathetic comments on Cotchin by some on here. Take a look at Martin tonight if your looking for blood :banghead Cotchin is the only player that even looks like he is hurting...
-
The worst captain is still Kane Johnson but yes he is having a dirty night

We are wasting our time with him at the helm ditto hardwick

Cotchin 10 possesions & 6 clangers

I think Cotchin is sounding more like dudwick the more I hear him speak.
Really should just shut up and learn how to lead by example when good teams play us.
Maybe all you apologists for mediocrity can tell me this week how excellent his captaining is and how great his leadership and how he's putting his arms around everyone singing kumbaya and laughing because it's only just footy.
Maybe winning isn't that important anymore and all the players can get a clap and a first prize sash for competing. :rollin
Is anyone going to tell me this week that it's ok for a captain to play this crap in a game?
I think this poo is absolutely unacceptable. :banghead
Captain should be the first player ashamed of himself.

The question has to be asked, what is wrong with this club ? Why has this happened ?
It's not as simple as oh they players just didn't turn up. Why didn't they turn up? Why do they have so many games/quarters/halves where they don't turn up?
-
As supporters we all get frustrated at how opposition supporters and the media take the pee when it comes to us at every opportunity. This is why, we do things other clubs just don't do, cbf listing them but you all know what I mean. I mean ffs what top 4 side looking to consolidate is down by 80 odd points at halftime?

After hearing Dylan Grimes interviewed on crunch time I realised there might be something in this "insane connection" that Cotchin was talking about.
At 8.00min in Dylan is asked what the one thing is that's made the difference
