Breaking the shackles: Who is about to be set free at your club?

RICHMOND

The Tigers have long identified the need for a hard-bodied ball-winner to take the pressure off skipper Trent Cotchin. They thought they'd found the answer last year in Jacob Townsend, but more reinforcements are clearly needed. Enter Josh Caddy and Dion Prestia. Cotchin's career-best 2012 season saw him average 5.27 inside 50s (3.49 since) and 0.82 marks in attack (0.36 since). His ability to push forward has been stunted by his responsibility at the coalface, but Caddy and Prestia will attend their share of centre bounces in 2017. Watch for Cotchin to rotate forward more where he is an underrated mark, quick thinker and dangerous if isolated in one-on-one contests.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I giggled at that one.  Giving away a record 12 goals in a game? :)
